Ukuqulwa kwecala labashisekeli bokuthula ababili, u-Edward Horgan noDan Dowling, liphele namuhla eNkantolo Yamacala Obugebengu e-Circuit Criminal Court eParkgate Street, eDublin ngemva kokuqulwa kwecala elidonse izinsuku eziyishumi.
Cishe eminyakeni engu-6 edlule ngo-25th April 2017, lezi zishoshovu ezimbili zokuthula zaboshwa e-Shannon Airport futhi zabekwa icala lokudala umonakalo wobugebengu ngokubhala i-graffiti endizeni yase-US Navy. Baphinde babekwa icala lokungena ngokungemthetho ku-curtilage ye-Shannon Airport. Amagama athi “Ingozi Ingozi Ayindizi” ayebhalwe ngophawu olubomvu enjinini yendiza yempi. Kwakungesinye sezindiza ezimbili ze-US Navy ezazifike e-Shannon zisuka e-Oceana Naval Air Station eVirginia. Ngemuva kwalokho bandizela endaweni yase-US e-Persian Gulf sebechithe ubusuku obubili eShannon.
Usayitsheni ongumseshi wanikeza ubufakazi ecaleni bokuthi umbhalo obhalwe endizeni awuzange ubangele izindleko zemali. Iningi uma kungewona wonke amamaki ayesuliwe endizeni ngaphambi kokuba iphinde isuke eMpumalanga Ephakathi.
Ukuphathwa kwezobulungiswa kwathatha isikhathi eside kuleli cala. Ngaphezu kokuqulwa kwecala lezinsuku eziyishumi eDublin kwakuhilela abamangalelwa nabashushisi babo ababethamele amacala angu-25 e-Ennis Co Clare naseDublin.
Ekhuluma ngemuva kwecala, umkhulumeli weShannonwatch uthe “Amasosha ase-US ahlomile angaphezu kwezigidi ezintathu adlule eShannon Airport kusukela ngo-2001 esendleleni eya ezimpini ezingekho emthethweni eMiddle East. Lokhu kwephula ukungathathi hlangothi kwase-Ireland kanye nemithetho yamazwe ngamazwe yokungathathi hlangothi.”
Ubufakazi bunikezwe enkantolo bokuthi isikhumulo sezindiza i-Shannon siphinde sasetshenziswa yi-CIA ukwenza lula uhlelo lwayo lokuhumusha oluholele ekuhlukunyezweni kwamakhulu eziboshwa. U-Edward Horgan unikeze ubufakazi bokuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezempi yase-US kanye ne-CIA kwe-Shannon kwakuphinde kwephule imithetho yase-Ireland kuhlanganise ne-Geneva Conventions (Amendments) Act, 1998, kanye ne-Criminal Justice (UN Convention Against Torture) Act, 2000. Kwavezwa ukuthi ngesikhathi okungenani ukushushiswa okungu-38 kwezishoshovu zokuthula kwenzeke kusukela ngo-2001 kuyilapho kungekho ukushushiswa noma uphenyo olufanele olwenziwe ngokwephulwa komthetho oshiwo ngenhla wase-Ireland.
Mhlawumbe ubufakazi obubaluleke kakhulu obethulwe ecaleni kwakuyifolda enamakhasi angama-34 enamagama ezingane ezingaba ngu-1,000 1991 ezashona eMpumalanga Ephakathi. Lokhu bekungeniswe esikhumulweni sezindiza ngu-Edward Horgan njengobufakazi bokuthi kungani bengene. Kwakuyingxenye yephrojekthi ebizwa ngokuthi Ukuqamba Izingane u-Edward nezinye izishoshovu zokuthula ababezenza ukuze babhale futhi babhale ohlwini abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka ezinganeni ezifika esigidini ezashona ngenxa yezimpi ezaziholwa yi-US kanye ne-NATO Maphakathi. EMpumalanga kusukela ngeMpi yokuqala yaseGulf ngo-XNUMX.
U-Edward Horgan ufunde amanye amagama ezingane ezibulewe kulolu hlu njengoba enikeza ubufakazi, okuhlanganisa namagama ezingane eziyi-10 ezabulawa ezinyangeni ezintathu ngaphambi kwesenzo sazo sokuthula ngo-Ephreli 2017.
Le nhlekelele yenzeke ngo-29th January 2017 lapho uMongameli osanda kukhethwa wase-US uTrump eyala ukuhlasela kwamasosha akhethekile ase-US Navy Seals edolobhaneni laseYemeni, elabulala abantu abangaba ngu-30 kuhlanganise noNawar al Awlaki uyise nomfowabo ababebulewe ezitelekeni zangaphambili ze-drone zase-US eYemen. .
Okunye okubalulwe kule folda yizingane ezingama-547 zasePalestine ezabulawa ngo-2014 ukuhlasela kwa-Israel eGaza.
U-Edward wafunda amagama amaqoqo amane ezingane ezingamawele ezibulewe kulokhu kuhlasela. Esinye isihluku esisohlwini ebufakazini bakhe kwakuwukuhlasela kwamaphekula ngamabhomu okuzibulala okwenzeka eduze kwase-Aleppo ngomhlaka-15 Ephreli 2017, kusasele izinsuku eziyishumi ngaphambi kwesenzo sokuthula eShannon lapho kwabulawa okungenani izingane ezingama-80 ezimeni ezinyantisayo. Yilezi zenzo zonya ezashukumisela u-Edward noDan ukuba bathathe isinyathelo sabo sokuthula ngesisekelo sokuthi babenezaba ezingokomthetho ngezenzo zabo zokuzama ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kweSikhumulo Sezindiza saseShannon kulezo zenzo zonya futhi ngaleyo ndlela bavikele izimpilo zabanye abantu ikakhulukazi. izingane zibulawa eMpumalanga Ephakathi.
Ijaji labesilisa abayisishiyagalombili nabesifazane abane bamukele izimpikiswano zabo zokuthi benze izaba ezisemthethweni. IJaji u-Martina Baxter unikeze abamangalelwa inzuzo ye-Probation Act ngecala le-Trespass, ngaphansi kombandela wokuthi bavume ukuboshelwa ekuThuleni izinyanga ezingu-12 futhi benze umnikelo obalulekile ku-Co Clare Charity.
Zombili izishoshovu zokuthula ziye zathi azinankinga “yokuboshelwa ekuthuleni” nokwenza umnikelo ekusizeni abantulayo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, ngenkathi leli cala liqhubeka eDublin, emuva e-Shannon Airport, ukusekelwa kwe-Ireland kwezimpi eziqhubekayo zase-US eMpumalanga Ephakathi kwakuqhubeka. NgoMsombuluko zingama-23 kuMasingana, inombolo enkulu yokubhaliswa kwendiza yezempi yase-US i-C17 Globemaster engu-07-7183 yafakwa uphethiloli esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Shannon isuka e-McGuire Air base eNew Jersey. Ibe isidlulela esikhumulweni sezindiza eJordan ngoLwesibili lapho kufakwe khona uphethiloli eCairo.
Ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezempi kukaShannon kuyaqhubeka.
