Sirul asylum denial: 'Putrajaya-sanctioned murder' doesn't qualify as political crime
Fugitive Sirul Azhar Umar cannot be considered to have committed a political crime even if it was accepted that his assassination of Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006 was instructed by the then Malaysian government, according to a decision by Administrative Appeals Tribunal of Australia deputy president Brian Rayment.
The definition was important for Sirul's appeal of asylum as a political crime would allow him to be considered for protection in Australia while a non-political crime would ultimately see his application rejected...
Putrajaya sanctioned assasination? Russian spy? Why was all this not brought out in his defence while he was faciing the death sentence? The only judge who will be willing to believe these obvious lies is a judge under the thumb of ACRL. Bring him back and reopen the case, and this time ensure that a real judge (not a stooge) is sitting on the bench, and reveal who actually ordered the murder.
