UN Official: Denmark Will Act Against ex-Israeli Shin Bet Director Carmi Gillon

22-07-2001 22:29

In the sharpest warning yet that ex-Shin Bet director Carmi Gillon may be Pinocheted, the ex-assistant director of The UN Committee Against Torture has stated that he believes Denmark should and will take action against Gillon, the new Israeli ambassador to Denmark. The UN Committee’s position that The UN Convention on Torture supercedes the diplomatic immunity provisions of The Vienna Convention, has been echoed by the director of The Danish Centre for Human Rights. Gillon was forced to resign as director of The Shin Bet due to the Shin Bet’s negligence in protecting asassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Genoa solidarity demo in London (report/pic)
A demo of 150 people garthered outside the Italian embassy at 18:00 sunday evening, to show their solidarity with the protestors in Genoa. The crowd stood in silence with occasional chants of 'assasins' and 'death to the state' went out as the police tried to pen the crowd in a small area. After an hour the whole crowd moved as one round to the other side of the embassy, confusing the following vans. At 19:15 the police have 'section 60'ed' the whole group and are threatening to photgraph and search everyone.
