STOCKHOLM,
June 1 (IslamOnline) – Swedish politicians and legal experts
demanded the necessity to unite the European laws, so as to make
possible trying those who abused humanity, on top of whom comes
Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. They pointed out the need for
amending some European legislations that ban putting a senior official
on trial while still in power.
A
conference, held Thursday, May 30, 2002, and organized by the Swedish
Oulf Palma Center in Obsala City, 60 kilometers from the capital,
called for trying Sharon as a war criminal, due to committing several
atrocities against humanity. The conferees compared Sharon’s case to
that of ex-dictator of Chile, Augusto Pinochet, who was recently tried
in the British capital, London.
The
conference was organized by active personalities of the ruling Swedish
Social Democratic Party. In his speech, head of the Palestinian
Associations’ Union, Dr. Ayid Ahmed stressed that “evidences
against Sharon were gathered by Zionist groups themselves after Sabra
and Shatila Massacres in Lebanon 1982”.
“These
evidences, in addition to other massacres committed up till Jenin,
could be used to try Sharon in Europe,” Ahmed added.
Other
participants insisted on trying Israeli officers and soldiers that
took part in killing the Palestinian innocent civilians, and not just
Sharon.
For
her part, Liza Biling, Solidarity Minister Consultant and a leading
candidate for the Swedish Parliament, cited Sharon as “one of the
worst war criminals of the 20th century, thanks to his black record of
massacres against the Palestinians”.
Liza’s
father worked as a Swedish doctor in Palestinian Camps in Lebanon. She
studied Arabic, and she usually participates in Arab and Islamic
anti-Israel rallies in Sweden.
Oulf
Palma was Sweden’s Prime Minister, assassinated in 1986, in the
capital Stockholm. He was one of the leading supporters of Arab rights.
