    Any chance you could back up your claim re IEBC and electoral fraud? You were quick to throw allegations of lying earlier.


    Answered already, but there was concern about the behaviour of all parties involved in the election and the constitutional vote Morsi tried.

    That's not a question for him to answer. He didn't spend the state's money. "Why did you ask for taxpayer's help?". "Because I was in prison despite being innocent".


    He was in prison for taking part in a violent protest against the Egyptian government. Acquittal is not the same as being found innocent.

    The IEBC does. I'm not part of the commission but their report I believe is still avaible online.

    Who are this IEBC who done a report into the Egyptian elections or did you just make that up, lie?

    I know you can't do links but would you be good enough to give us the post number that backs up your claim?

    You never heard of the International Electoral and Boundary Commission? Jimmy Carter was once an observer for them. Obviously the last part of your post proves you never even bothered to look just wishing to cast aspiration. I don't lie petal I know in your world it's the norm but it's not for me.

    This has been covered multiple times. Do you have any evidence that he 'took part' in violence? Being at a protest, which turned violent, does not mean you are guilty of a crime, i.e. taking part in the violence/breaking a law. A fact which the Egyptian authorities obviously agree with too.

    Many, many people have been arrested before, and will be again, when they haven't actually committed any offence. Please show us the evidence that supports your claim that he is not innocent, i.e. actually committed an offence at the protest.

    Where in what I have siad is factually incorrect? He was in prison for taking part in a protest. He was in the Mosque stormed by Police.

    An accused person walks into court presumed innocent in the eyes of the law.
    Following acquittal he walks out as he walked in innocent in the eyes of the law.

    Actually that's an incorrect assumption, there is not a blanket formula in all countries/ jurisdictions. Again acquittal does not equate to innocent. Ask Simpson.

    I'll try again, seen as your basic comprehension skills have again, completely let you down. See the bolded text for extra help on answering the simple question posed to you. :rolleyes:

    It's all very simple really, he was found to have no case to answer for by the Egyptian authorities. Can you please tell us what legal case, he (I. Halawa) should have to answer before the courts?

    You said he wasn't found to be innocent, so.. what is he guilty of?. I mean a prosecutable crime by the way, not moral judgments. And some real verifiable evidence would be great.

    You had the cheek to dismiss my post as drivel, yet you reference OJ Simpson as relevant to this case? Once accused, must be guilty of something?:rolleyes:

    Ps. You do know that OJ was sued in civil court, successfully, for those murders?

    Here it is in very simple terms there may not be enough evidence to secure a crinmal conviction but acquittal does not equate to a verdict of innocence. Hope that helps. Somehow I don't think it will.

    This is my understanding also.

    The prosecution could have retried halawa if they had gotten their ducks in a row,(within 60 days)but only because he was acquitted.
    This retrial couldn't occur if the judge had said that halawa was innocent. The judge didn't of course proclaim halawa as innocent.

    Yes I know that and if you understood criminal law you would know that acquittal means the case has not been proven not that the defendant is innocent.

    It appears that google have never heard of the "International Electoral and Boundary Commission" either. Are you possibly mistaken?

    But the UN human rights is everyone is entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty??


    He wasn't proven guilty,hence in eyes of all countries that sign up to the UN human rights he's presumed innocent??


    Unless you wish to begin to peel away at peoples human rights?
