An appeals Court has just ruled that the judge who ordered the detention of the leaders of the oil union and civil association was “manifestly incompetent” to issue that ordered as requested by one of them. This implies that all six have had their detention orders revoked.
Note added: The Appeals Court also said that the decision by the judges violated the right to a defense, the right to due process and the natural judge for an accusation like this one. It is interesting that the lawyers had previously said that the case was distributed to the judge in irregular fashion and beyond the hour of the day when such distributions are made. Moreover, the judge sneaked out of the Courtroom that day, without wanting to meet with the press. My question is: How come when all these irregularities take place neither the Attorney General or the Peoples’ Ombusdman say much?. Actually, I know the answer, the Attorney General was part of all this and the People’s Ombusdam does not give a damm.
