Penal Hall rules Fort Mara case to be overseen by civilian courts

May 14, 2004

And it seems to have gone unnoticed that the Penal Hall of the Supreme Court unanimously ruled today that the Fort Mara case of the burnt soldiers will have to be decided in a civilian court. Not that I have much hope that this will help in solving the case, but it will certainly eliminate the total cover up that has so far been performed by the military. Of course, these Justice face the risk with theoir decision that they will be investigated like the President of the Electoral hall Martini Urdaneta “for faults in the fulfillment of his duties”. This simply means that he ruled against the Government’s wishes, which in a totalitarian state is considered to be a very grave fault.
