OK kiddies, the doo is getting deeper. When Splitting The Sky attempted to arrest George Bush for war crimes he began a trial, now over, whose decision we'll all see in mid-July. I'm not holding my breathe of course but we'll see if that decision prevents Bush from entering Canada ever again for fear of arrest.
Now we have a British journalist, an Irish fellow, who attempted to arrest Tony Blair, another known war criminal with the blood of millions on his hands. In due time there will be more info. Until then we have this:
Brussels - A Brussels reporter attempted to place
Tony Blair under a citizen's arrest on Monday (22 March) for his role in the invasion of Iraq, during a visit by the former UK prime minister to the European Parliament for a hearing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
On the seventh anniversary of the invasion almost to
the day, late afternoon, David Cronin, an Irish journalist with the Inter Press Service news agency and a regular writer on European Union affairs for The Guardian, the British centre-left daily, approached Mr Blair, as he was due to discuss with MEPs his current work as a Middle East special envoy...
Speaking to EUobserver after the event, Mr
Cronin said he had been inspired by the attempts to arrest Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe by UK human rights activist Peter Tatchell in London in 1999 and in Brussels in 2001. The campaign launched in January by Guardian columnist George Monbiot to repeat the attempt on Mr Blair also featured in his thinking. "My motivation in trying to arrest Blair is entirely based on my contempt for the crimes he has committed and abetted in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Serbia," he told this website...
"Mr Cronin said that if found to be eligible
for the bounty, he would prefer that the money go to a Palestinian human rights charity in the Gaza Strip."
