The language of human rights, language is taken very seriously when it comes to the term "trial". The term "trial" may also mean a trial without defense. In many cases the defense requests that the term “trial” is re-written, unless it is used to describe a trial that contains equality between the defense and the prosecutors. We can look into Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s trial, when the defense is presenting their case all the judge does is pretend as if he is listening. They made him seem as if he was some sort of serial killer putting him into shackles and in a cage, all he was a successful Jewish business man. He was the wealthiest man in Russia and Forbes 16th wealthiest man. The government did not like the fact that Khodorkovsky became the wealthiest man, the president Vladimir Putin played a major role in Khodorkovsky’s unfair trial.
I see why you picked it considering that you are Jew yourself.... and i agree with what u say they treated him like a animal and dehumanized him
ReplyDeleteI like how you summarized what we just read. I can better undestand now, so thanks. I definitely agree with this whole concept of using the word "trial" to differentiate between the defense & the prosecutors. Khodorkovsky never had a "trial" prior to the whole situation, so that would obviously make it his first, & why would he be put in shackles... & a cage, if he's perfectly harmless & innocent to society? Everything about their idea of how to handle a "convict" is wrong, unless he is a cold-blooded killer with hard physical evidence & first-hand witnesses..
