Yes peter the magistrate chief and chief magistrate francis and i read his bad dicta in 3 about 3 and a half hours a trial that started as you mentioned 7 years ago 20. The prosecution had 44 witnesses and the case their case was heavily reliant on call logs of telephone conversations they say between the accused and 4 of that attack who stormed into the Westgate Mall they were all killed by Security Forces so the prosecution saying that there was conversation constant conversations going on between the accused and those attackers in fact they say one of the accused.

Ok story continues with court cases in greece leaders of the far right Golden Dawn Party have been found guilty of running a criminal organization the police fired tear gas at thousands of protesters who gathered outside the court to hear the verdicts the investigation into the Golden Dawn Party was sparked by the murder of a musician in 20 who was once the 3rd Largest Party in greece. Is our correspondent in athens so john this was a marathon Legal Process what 55 and a half years. Its right that a very important aspect is what you mentioned that the Golden Dawn Party has now been convicted as being a criminal. Organization and an illegal militia under the guise of a Political Party all 18 of its members of parliament to came into parliament and 2012 have now been convicted of membership or leadership of that criminal organization and they will spend many years in jail we dont know how many yet because sentencing is to follow in the coming days the important thing is that over this 5 and a half year long trial more than 100 Different Cases involving armed violence in many cases against migrants or leftists were brought to trial and in most cases Golden Dawn Party members or supporters were found guilty that suggests to the judges that these acts were not random they were not entirely spontaneous they were part of a pattern of behavior the courts believes ordered from the top by the Party Leadership in a way that suggests that the party acted as an organized crime ring the event of course which sparked the investigation of the policy and these cases being brought forward is the merger of the left wing rap artist feast us on september 17th 2013 just a little more than a year after golden dawn 1st came to power after that. And an extremely violent premeditated event i think the authorities were shocked at the extent to which golden dawn was prepared to go in order to intimidate its political opponents and that led to its downfall peter john thank you very much. Ok lets take a slightly closer look at the 4 crimes the court was ruling on 1st the killing of the left wing powerful lost by sas in 2013 a golden dawn supporter was found guilty along with 15 more accomplices then there was the attempted murder. An immigrant fisherman in 2125. 00 golden dawn members convicted there for attacks on communist trade unionists samia for more members were found guilty of the lesser charge of causing bodily harm then there was the charge that the Golden Dawn Party itself was a criminal organization directing paramilitary violence against opponents the court found that it was effectively banning it meant dozens of convictions including 18 former members of parliament and the party leader as well fear fanous exit back to loss is a reader in european politics at the university of surrey in the u. K. He says this ruling may be the end of golden dawn but not of the far right well. The party the party has been outvoted in parliament anyway and this was kind of a dooming stone lets say to their fate however what it doesnt do is up to that kind of neo fascist tendencies that may exist in greece and may be expressed through Different Party formations right now the refugee crisis that has been happening around europe and especially in greece and the context of the islands and the refugee camps there has been an important factor in raising issues with immigration and precisely golden dawn was that being on these particular incoming incoming set of immigrants on the islands to perform some of its violent activities now these have not gone away the fact that they will not be sponsored necessarily or be initiated by officials of the golden dawn doesnt mean that the groups that are against immigration are not still. Very much active on the islands as well. Plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including kyrgyzstan in k. Also as opposition protesters oust the Prime Minister and freed jailed leaders will be live in bishkek. South africas Biggest Union turns on the ruling party in a demand for economic justice. And in sport rather than dollar is made to work the night shift at the french open explained in a little over 30 minutes. Tens of thousands of South Africans are taking part in a nationwide antigovernment protests they want the president Cyril Ramaphosa to address allegations of corruption about missing funds from the 26000000000. 00 Coronavirus Relief fund the money was meant to be spent on p. P. For Frontline Health care workers and to help those whove lost their jobs now the rallies were organized by the countrys biggest workers union.

That the governments here to try and deal with the spread of the virus at least by this virus its just the people here say theyre fed up with corruption theyre concerned about crop losses and only economy theyre also. Opposition protests are continuing despite the resignation of the Prime Minister and the promise of a new election but there is growing confusion over who is actually running the country demonstrators have taken control of government buildings and the Prime Minister has been replaced by an opposition politician he was freed from jail the day before by protesters the uncertainty follows the end moment of sundays parliamentary elections which many say were rigged. For joins us live now from the capital bishkek charles if they got the promise of a new election why isnt that enough. Or whats. The point of the matter is the heart of the matter is at the moment there is just too many competing voices peter. We saw a sense of unity a couple of days ago amongst the opposition parties that were protesting in the square that were cleared by Security Forces since then we have now a seriously frank should opposition im standing outside the Prime Ministers office here in. There are thousands of supporters of one man outside waiting for him to arrive and that man is the new Prime Minister. Of the man as you referred to who was freed from jail by his supporters a couple of nights ago serving an 11 and a half year jail sentence for kidnapping now he had his criminal record completely wiped clean the last yesterday by the supremes cools the supremes courts that many people here say is completely illegitimate but the meeting that he is going to be having in the Prime Ministers office is with a number of other opposition groups that have a serious problem with him becoming the new Prime Minister the issue seems to be the fact that he was voted to become the countrys new Prime Minister last night in an emergency parliamentary session which the opposition say did not contain enough m. P. s to legitimize him being voted into power. There have been scenes of chaos in this country now full for 3 days earlier today out on the main square other opposition groups calling for the but the resignation of the president also saying that ultimate was the only legitimate also received in this country which is diametrically opposed to what other people think here. Interestingly no visible Police PresencePolice Presence at all on the streets in fact in around the crowds here we have groups of volunteers that have got together. As medics and in recent nights certainly last night we saw them operating on the streets alone trying to prevent looting there doesnt seem to be of the certainly there isnt any kind of Central Authority seemingly in this country at the moment we havent heard from the president or well over 24 hours its going to be very interesting to see what comes out of this meeting if indeed the new Prime Minister arrives those opposition leaders that i was referring to are already inside and everybody pretty much safe to say 90 percent of the people standing outside here are the powerful supporters no other opposition supporters here so thats the fear the fear is that were beginning to see a standoff between the supporters of the man that has become this countrys new Prime Minister and other opposition groups so yeah another night of tension and uncertainty in bishkek charles thanks very much chance for us live in bishkek.
