Death Sentence for Mengistu

WONG:
Ethiopia's supreme court sentences former Marxist ruler Mengistu Haile Mariam to death. The court granted a prosecution appeal that argued the life sentence he was given for genocide was unequal to his crimes.
STORY:
Mengistu, lives a life of comfortable exile in Zimbabwe since he was driven from power in 1991. He is protected as a friend of Zimbabwe by the Mugabe regime. He could face extradition to Ethiopia if Mugabe loses to Morgan Tsvangiria in next month's election run-off.He and more than a dozen other senior officers were found guilty after a 12-year trial. The court said crimes committed by Mengistu and his co-defendants by killing an emperor and burying him under a toilet "is unheard of in the annals of human history".His regime's brutality was exemplified by the Red Terror purges of 1977-78, in which at least 1,200 suspected political opponents were murdered and their bodies dumped in the streets as a warning to others.Mengistu and 19 co-defendants were sentenced to death, while another was sentenced to life. The sentence will be carried out after the head of state approves it.

@jirildo

how can you speak of europeans? europe is far from united... its still single countrys which only have started such a process...

you cant compare england to germany or sweden to spain.... or greece to the netherlands....

so who is evil? great britain? spain? poland? sweden? italy? .... i think you should be more precise. ...as far as i know, kenia is under the influence of great britain, because it was a colony of their former empire.

death for mengistu(the slave)is even less!

[Medah20]

What do you think modern slavery is? Since slavery is gone and abolished, white people have to use modern slavery, giving few dumb followers and their family few cash and the rest is to follow.

Proff you are a racist southern hick who needs to have his mother raped

[jirildo]

Nothing could be worst than the fear and terror in your head that results in your spouting off such ignorance. Maybe you should read up on what is really going on in the world and look for the clues to the men in the shadows who condone the behavior of these Dictators for their own profit.

The present situation in the world shows that the Europeans are still the most violent savages.even more so than your hated Niggas.
