Urgent Action: Demand The Immediate Release Of Dr. Abuzaid Dorda
*Alexandra Valiente
Libya 360°
Viva Libya!
Dr. Dorda walking into court with difficulty due to injuries suffered during torture and a near fatal fall when his torturers threw him from a second story window in an attempt to kill him.
Dr. Dorda Before The Court June 5, 2012
While speaking with Dr. Dorda’s immediate family today, I was informed that his trial has been postponed until June 26th, 2012.
The family also stated that the court read a list of charges Dr. Dorda is allegedly guilty of, however the family have not seen a formal charge sheet.
A legitimate court does not deny a person the right to access legal counsel of their choice. There has been no regard for due process or the rule of law. All laws and norms pertaining to human rights and the treatment and trial of political prisoners have been ignored.
Thousands of readers from around the world responded to Dr. Dorda’s appeal which was posted June 1, 2012.
Urgent Appeal To The Libyan People And International Community For The Life Of Dr. Abuzaid Dorda
We must continue to protest and demand that all prisoners without legal representation of their choice be released immediately.
Televised mock tribunals are not “fair trials”. Neither are they transparent.
Please protest in the strongest possible terms, demanding an end to unfair trials in Libya and Dr. Dorda’s immediate release.
Include links to the original appeal for Dr. Dorda which contains essential background, the appeal from June 1, 2012 and today’s update in your mailing.
