Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Aung San Suu Kyi.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is. It is also an indication of the exceptionally unfair, ill-conceived process in which Aung San Suu Kyi finds herself. Speaking as one who previously practised as a court solicitor, I believe that it breaches just about every norm of international law. My only quibble with the hon. Gentleman is that I was told that the number of prosecution witnesses being produced was 16, compared with one defence witness, but the numbers make no difference. What is most obnoxious is the fact that the person standing trial is not being allowed to present her case.
