Many <B>villagers </B>got so much <B>contaminated with radioactivity </B>they developed cancers and <B>died in misery</B>.

He has not the slightest idea what they talk about when reports state his troops were "exporting prisoners" across the borders to have them tortured in neigboring countries because Chile's own capacity couldn't deal with the influx. Those silly journalists admit next it's all in their minds when they later write about 'vanished' intellectuals, artists, workers, ....</div> <bR> <div> He can't recall ever to have heard about people having been thrown out of airplanes above the jungle or the ocean. The kidnapping of children of political opponents, to be raised in the families of his officers: a leftist fantasy. Stalin did that!</div> <bR> <div> That <A HREF="http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1971/neruda-bio.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates">Pablo Neruda</A> can't play guitar anymore? So, what has he, Pinochet, to do with that? That Neruda died anyway soon later. It's a lie is was because his fingers where cut of during the Regularization! No, likely it was because that Neruda guy couldn't stand it people finally told him those silly songs and poems - "Canto General" - were nothing more as communist crap!</div> <bR> <div> Gosh, good his socialist friend Tony Blair let him get back to his hacienda. What an idea to have him, Pinochet, arrested in the UK to be extradited to Spain after all he did for his people and his friends! Who would have taken better care of the rightful claims of companies as "ITT" and the "Anaconda Mining Company"?</div> <bR> <div> Here, sitting at ease in the mild sun of Chili, with a view on the Andes, he who made Chile most known enjoys his age. Two nice documents hang next to his picture in the main hall. In front of the faithful ticking pendulum. </div> <div> The first framed relict is the special law his friends in Parliament made for him, granting him lifetime immunity against all communist attempt to use him, Pinochet, as a tool for their propaganda. The other one is more a tiny slip, telling elderly persons like he, by occasion, can't recall anything stressful that might even never have happened. </div> <bR> <div> "Silly politics", Mr Pinochet thinks and he sips again from his fine red Andes wine. </div> <div> --- "Mmm, Tony is a good red one too", he smiles.

Actually, the family hasn't much left at all <B>in their cellar or in their attic </B>now <B>their source of income</B> has been taken away from them.</div> <bR> <div> Nabil Sayadi has lost his job. First as a truck driver and co-coordinator for the non-profit organization he helped to create. When they were forbidden to leave Belgium and their assets were frozen he had to sell the truck. </div> <bR> <div> Next he lost a job as a salesman in a clothes shop of standing. His boss, during a family holiday, had been questioned about who he employed. On arrival in Australia the only issue the customs seems to have been interested in was why he employed back home in Belgium, at the other side of the world, Nabil Sayadi. On the return flight, at a stop in Austria, the same scenario took place: the customs picked out Nabil Sayadi's employer - who is on no list or whatsoever - and asked him exactly the same question.</div> <div> On his return to Belgium the man was so terrorized by this experience he fired Nabil, a long time friend, right away.</div> <bR> <div> Belgium is a wonderful country, widely know for its famous welfare system. Nabil Sayadi already knows all about it. When the activities of the humanitarian organization Nabil used to work in had to be halted he requested what he had paid taxes for: some allowance for the time he was unemployed. Although he found temporary work in the clothes shop, the State body informed him he would be refused. They state he had not been an employee but should have been classified as a self-employed business man. Why the State had been cashing then - as this is how the system works - during all the past years over a 30 percent of Nabil's monthly wage and this even before it reached his family? No thank you. No reply. No nothing.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>THE SLIPPERY LEGAL PATH</U></B></div> <div> The Sayadi's filled a lawsuit against the Belgian State. Their second lawsuit. The first one for being dealt with without accusation or even date of a trial and now one against the state body refusing to provide what they had been collecting money for as long as things went well.</div> <bR> <div> To the surprise of even the judge, that trial got postponed. </div> <div> The state body having been sued by the Sayadi's for not handling their case in a reasonable time and for not providing any argument why this was so, appeared in front of court with the statement they had counter-sued Nabil Sayadi. They accuse him of requesting aid in spite of not being applicable. Once more: no arguments are given why Nabil wouldn't be in a position to apply for an unemployment allowance. The lawyer of the State body involved knew the laws of this country even better as the judge: because the State sues now Nabil Sayadi in the same case as he is suing this State institution, the case Nabil brought forward is automagically halted. The State's case against Nabil Sayadi has priority. Even the judge was amazed by this magic of legislation. </div> <bR> <div> The better one knows the case, the bigger the amazement. It is clearly obvious that no one can be convicted for requesting a right he or she thinks to be entitled to. The move of the Belgian State is absurd but very effective to paralyze anyone opposing it.</div> <bR> <div> If this case takes more as a couple of years before a verdict is brought forward, the Sayadi's might - but with what resources left ? - start a suit against Belgium in front of an international court. Next it will take, once more, many more years before that court will take a decision and most likely Belgium will ignore the ruling as it did in other cases as well.</div> <bR> <div> It appears that even in those states where throughout ages of barbary legislation developed to form the base for what is known as the  "Constitutional State", the modern state can't deal properly with its population any longer. The resemblance with the sovereign tyrant, an individual, and the legitimized modern state is a domain we don't want to explore here. However one can whether the democratic process that pushed forward the issue of the fair sharing of power; the task of taking responsibility as an individual for oneself and for the community one belongs to; has come to an end and even might be on its return. More we like to believe democratization needs a good boost in order to rid much hypocrisy! </div> <bR> <div> For now no court appears to be able to enforce its ruling on states as we know them nowadays. Belgium has been convicted many times already before. Amongst other issues also for not respecting a reasonable term in which Belgian courts have to come to a verdict and this especially in issues related to the State of Belgium itself. So far so good for that constitutional state!</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>THE LETTER THAT SETS JUSTICE ON FIRE</U></B></div> <div> In May 2004 the Sayadi's received one more magical twist of justice: their fire insurance told them that because they were placed on a Belgian list of terrorists the law forbid them to continue their coverage. The letter ended with <I>"We thank you for putting trust in our company and keep ourselves at all times available to serve you".</I> (!!)</div> <div> Completely Kafka: there isn't any law protecting the rights of the Sayadi's; there exist at all any list of terrorists put forward by the Belgian government and neither does there exist any law forbidding insurances to provide coverage to terrorists, placed on whatever list! </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>HOPE FOR ALL OF US</U></B></div> <div> All members of the Sayadi-Vinck family strongly belief one day </div> <div> justice will prevail no matter what.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>The text above might be altered as more information comes available.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Read also:</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id62.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Accused Without Trial">"Accused Without Trial"</A></div> <div> "Famous Trials"</div> <bR> <div>  <STYLE> </STYLE>  </div> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=17 BGCOLOR="#003366" TEXT="#F7F7FF"> <div> <A HREF="id60_m.htm" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="What They Did Dont"><B>Top</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id109.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Technical Stuff"><B>Next</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id62.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Accused Without Trial"><B>Previous</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id137.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Meta Index"><B>Index</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id33_link_index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Links"><B>Links</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Welcome"><B>Home</B></A><B>     </B><A HREF="id107.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Added"><B>Updates</B></A><B>     </B><B>Contact</B><B>     </B><A HREF="id143.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Pointer"><B>Pointer</B></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
