Court Sentences A 4-year-old Boy To Life Imprisonment by ikbnice(m): 9:01am On Feb 20, 2016 |
Ahmed Mansour Karni, a 4-year
old child, will be spending the
rest of his life in prison
following a court ruling in
western Cairo on Tuesday. The
little boy was convicted in
absentia for several charges,
including murder, reports
Ventures Africa.
Going by the timeline of events
that led to the alleged crimes
the youngster is being
convicted for, Karni was about
2-years old at the time, as they
occurred two years ago during
the riots and demonstrations
of January 3 2014. But his
name was on a list of over a
hundred people “wanted” for
murder, disturbance of the
peace and damaging state
property.
Prior to the ruling, a defense
attorney, Faisal al-Saud, who
said that Karni’s name ended
on the list by mistake,
presented the child’s birth
certificate to the court, but it
appears the material was not
transferred and that the
presiding judge did not review
the case.
“The child, Ahmed Mansour
Karni’s birth certificate was
presented after state security
forces added his name to the
list of accused, but then the
case was transferred to the
military court and the child
was sentenced in absentia in
an ensuing court hearing,”
said the lawyer.
Although Karni’s birth
certificate proves that he was
born in September 2012, the
court indictment states that
the child is guilty of murder –
four counts, attempted murder
– eight counts, threatening
security forces and vandalizing
property belonging to the
Egyptian Health Administration
and vehicles belonging to
security forces. How can a
two-year old commit these
crimes?
In response to Karni’s ruling,
Egyptians took to social media
blasting the government and
the clearly dysfunctional legal
system, accusing them of
corruption and injustice. An
angry Egyptian lawyer,
Mohammed Abu Huraira, said
that the court decisions can’t
be appealed; he issued a
response to the ridiculous
judgement saying, “On the eve
of injustice and madness in
Egypt, a four-year old child was
sentenced to life
imprisonment. He is accused of
disturbance, damage to
property and murder. The
Egyptian scales of justice are
not reversible. There is no
justice in Egypt. No reason.
Logic committed suicide a
while ago. Egypt went crazy.
Egypt is ruled by a bunch of
lunatics.” www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/4-yr-old-sentenced-to-life-imprisonment/ cc lalasticlala |
