25 Dec. 2014 - Judicial Theater of the Absurd

For some it looked like political extortion in the judicial theater of the absurd. Imprisoned activists awaiting trial were summoned to the Municipal Court this morning. Bail was again denied and a new hearing was scheduled for Jan. 8, 2015. Justice was not served and the rule of law was again overruled by the dictates of power. The "impartial" judge was later reported as having said that bail was denied because the untried prisoners "were not of good characteristics."
