UK Arresting People, Taking Them To Court



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Per USA Today:

Yeshshiembet Girma, 29, and Muluemebet Girma, 21, of separate addresses in south London, were charged with failing to disclose information that could have helped police secure the arrest, prosecution or conviction of a person involved in terrorism, a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said....

The first person charged --? Ismael Abdurahman, 23, from southeast London --? appeared in court Thursday to face charges of withholding information that helped suspected subway bomber Hamdi Issac avoid capture....

In the first court hearing in Britain in the attacks, Ismael Abdurahman, 23, from southeast London, spoke only to confirm his name and age. He was not asked to enter a plea during a 10-minute hearing in Bow Street Magistrates' Court before being led off to jail. He is scheduled to appear in court again next Thursday....

Britain is holding 14 suspects in the investigation, and Italy has three. Police believe they have all the July 21 bombers in custody....

Britain has requested that Issac, also known as Osman Hussain, be extradited from Italy. His lawyer, Antonietta Sonnessa, said an extradition hearing was set for Aug. 17.
Arresting people, using the law to combat the lawless, bringing suspects before a judge and building a case against them, demonstrating that even people who terrorize the UK will receive due process and an attorney to represent them.

Bush must be thinking, "How quaint."
