October, 1998
The British Government announces that it is extremely upset with the Government
of Sierra Leone following the execution of a number of people involved in acts
of insurrection earlier in the year.
Apparently; the Foreign Office telephoned the Sierra Leone Government asking
that they show some clemency in this matter.
Such clemency was not forthcoming and the British Government is quite rightly
upset.
October, 1998
Jamaicans facing execution appeal to the Privy Council, based in London, to
have their sentance reconsidered.The Privy Council, part of the British judiciary system, upholds the sentance
and the Jamaicans are duly executed. The Foriegn Office says nothing and the British Government by implication
permit, even condone, the execution of individuals that it obviously, legally,
has power and control over.
October, 1998
Just another month in the life of the British Government.
