BIN LADEN: HANDS OFF CAIN- WE DO NOT SHARE OBAMA'S OPINION
May 6, 2011: "Regarding Osama Bin Laden, we know too little to say if it was an ‘extra-judicial execution’ or an act of ‘legitimate defence’,” Hands Off Cain Secretary Sergio D’Elia said.
“We agree with the request made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navanethem Pillay, for ‘a full and accurate explanation of the facts" D'Elia explained.
“In any case, Obama's expression that ‘justice was done’ cannot be accepted. In a State of Rights, the mode of ‘achieving justice’ is strictly governed by the law, which provides for a regular trial in a court of law, even in the biblical conception of an eye for an eye which is still strong in America”. D'Elia concluded “Even less acceptable is Obama's suggestion that Osama's death could be a summary application of talion law, which is in vogue in the Arab regimes and practised by Islamic fundamentalists”.
