Expell the Plaintiff: Hiding the bodies of war crimes & genocide




When people apply for asylum, they are reporting crime: international human rights crime (the very worst kind.)

A handful of privileged Western bureaucrats make those crime reports officially disappear: When they stamp asylum applications “refused”, they make the victims officially disappear.
This practice
protects perpetrators: no victim, no crime.

The UN Committee Against Torture (UNCAT) found, in its report of May 2011, that the Republic of Ireland (ROI) asylum system has failed to abide by international standards. (EU countries, on average, accept about 27% of those who apply for asylum.)

The lowest for years at about 10%, Ireland in 2010 accepted only 1.5%.
This shocking record is due to systemic flaws, and also to corruption in decision-makers.
A legal challenge to this corruption is being pursued. The Plaintiff is one of thousands who have been illegally refused asylum here. The Justice Ministry itself formally agreed, (in the only judicial review ever completed in her case,) that they were biased & corrupt, and should not have refused her asylum. But due to ROI’s unfair system, Plaintiff has remained in a legal limbo for years on end.

These abuses are impossible without the collusion of judges of the High Court & Supreme Court. Plaintiff’s formal, written Complaint of corruption in judges has received considerable support and interest from legislators, activists & NGOs. It is widely held among legal professionals, that her lobbying campaign on this issue contributed to the removal of Chief Justice John L Murray, who was named in said Complaint.

The State is obliged, by the national Constitution and by international law, to answer such Complaints and provide redress. However, ROI stands in violation of human rights conventions, in that it has no process or body to handle such complaints. The FF government simply ignored this Complaint against their appointees.

This Complaint against judges was submitted to the new FG government on its accession 2011. Plaintiff hoped that this new government would grant justice, for so many like her.

In direct reply to this corruption Complaint, new FG govt sent Plaintiff a “Proposal to deport letter”: Threatening to forcibly ship her against her will, back to the country where her life would be in danger. This obliged her to run for her life, abandoning her home of the past five years, her income, and her community.

This injustice was the subject of Parliamentary Questions by independent TDs (including PQ #221, for written Wed 14 Dec 2011.) But at this writing, there has been no real answer from the government, to allegations that they:
  • acted illegally
  • placing human life at risk
  • in order to cover up corruption in the asylum system; and
  • with intent to disable the Plaintiff, and prevent a fair hearing

FG government has now issued a Deportation Order against Plaintiff:
Said Order being issued illegally,
after Plaintiff had left the State, after Government had received written confirmation that she had left the State; and in direct violation of Government’s written undertaking that no such order would issue. This illegal Order was issued with vexatious intent to further harass, persecute and disable Plaintiff, even outside the State.
