The Wire

Earlier this week, the UN human rights committee found that a violation had occurred when David Hicks was jailed as part of a transfer agreement. The chair of the committee, Fabian Salvioli, branded the incident – which occurred over ten years ago – a “flagrant denial of justice”. But despite the finding, the panel of experts ruled that Australia’s government was not obliged to make reparation payments to Hicks. Image sourced from Creative Commons.
