To inconvenience his friends or relations they transfer him as far away as possible, this was the method used by the Brits ...

As soon as I saw a thread about an Irishman being mistreated I was wondering how long it would take to blame the bastard Brits. What took you so long Ard? ;-)

I still don't see the sense of the move but surely if the guy IS guilty of murder then it is up to the authorities in the country he is in how he is treated isn't it? I know we need to fight oppression and unfair treatment but don't things like torture and summary execution in 3rd world countries take precidence over inconveniencing the families of murderers? Even if they are Irish? Tell me what I am missing.

Cheers
