Condemn Torture, yet Support Torturer


Letter from John O'Shea to Sunday Independent editor, 11th Dec 2005

Sir,

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is correct to uneqivocally condemn the practice of torture by any state. His stance is morally correct and I feel certain it is appreciated by the bulk of Irish people.

Will Mr. Ahern now address the same moral principles to the tragedy of Ethiopia, where innocent people are being slaughtered and imprisoned by a regime which is in receipt of €30 million of Irish taxpayers' money?

To condemn a state which practices torture and at the same time support a regime which practices murder, is not, I would contend, a logical position.

Yours, etc,
JOHN O'SHEA, GOAL, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
