Title: Why we should take in NO poor immigrants
Post by Sprintcyclist on Jul 19th, 2013 at 1:13pm


Quote:
A 15-year-old Australian imprisoned in a notorious Ethiopian federal jail for shooting his niece in the neck was initially forced to share a cell with international criminals and drug traffickers, according to his lawyer.

The teenager, Obsa Paulos Gudina, is now in his third, and "cleanest" cell in Kaliti prison since his arrest in April 16, lawyer Taffesse Gebremedhin has told Fairfax Media.

Mr Gebremedhin said that despite third-world prison conditions and an initial period of depression, Obsa Paulos Gudina is coping better since his change to a cleaner, less crowded cell.


"I had an extended conversation with him [on Thursday]... He's healthy looking. He looks nice, he's happy," he said.

Advertisement Mr Gebremedhin said that Obsa was first placed in a "big cell... with over 300 prisoners, many of them arrested in connection with drugs".

"It was terrible... many prisoners suffer suffocation [due to the] lack of ventilation. He was depressed... not healthy looking, [and] not really in a stable condition," Mr Gebremedhin said.


"This is not a developed nation, and prisons are overcrowded, and minimum standards are not satisfied."

After seeing Obsa and noting his cell conditions, Mr Gebremedhin and the Australian deputy head of mission and counsellor, John Newman, lodged a complaint with the prison administration to have Obsa moved to a better cell.

"They [the prison administration] gave consideration to Obsa's circumstances, and moved him to another room, which was cleaner," Mr Gebremedhin said.

Obsa's current prison conditions are tolerable, Mr Gebremedhin said, and despite "a lot of limitations", Obsa's hygiene conditions are "relatively OK".

"He has access to a bathroom... He said they even provided him with a mattress," Mr Gebremedhin said.

"[But] there is no library facility, no place for him to read a book."

Obsa spent the first month of his incarceration at the main police station in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, waiting for the prosecutor to gather information about the incident.

After a month, Obsa was charged with intentional homicide, and moved to the infamous Kaliti prison, on the outskirts of Addis Ababa.

After the charge, he appeared before the federal court, where he was denied bail by the presiding judge due to the serious nature of his charge.

While Mr Gebremedhin said that no physical harm was done to Obsa in the all-adult jail, "he was not happy" at the time.

"He was depressed... not healthy looking, [and] not really in a stable condition," Mr Gebremedhin said.

The lawyer said adults and minors are often placed together in the same jail cells in Ethiopia, despite a person under the age of 18 being legally considered a minor.

"There is no separate prison for minors and adults. Minors between the ages of 15 and 18 are required to stay in a separate place, but there is no such place for them," he said.

Mr Gebremedhin indicated to the teen's mother, Tsehai Atomsa, that legal fees will be approximately $A10,000.

Heidi Zwick from the New Hope Foundation said the family has very limited financial resources, "as Tsehai lives in public housing and is on a disability support payment".

Ms Atomsa told Fairfax Media on Friday that she is grateful for the local support she has received.

"Australian people have helped us with everything," she said.

Interesting question from our cafa hating brother Andrei has raised here.

What is an "Australian Name", and does qualification into the set of acceptable australian names override any more formal Australian qualifications like citizenship or residency. ?

How disgusting. I'll bet the odd fine defaulter is in the same prison and may even share the same cell. What is happening; criminals in prison brushing up against other crims. I'll bet they had to observe 'lights out' at 9pm as well. Let's take to the streets and protest.

Just more excuses, when you come across a f#ckin scumbag you don't make excuses you just hope that he dissapears one way or another, well you do if you are a normal person anyway, if you are a lefty you do all you possibly can to ensure that the front bottom can make more victims.

I agree, Innocent. If you come across a dodgy passport photo, you just hope they disappear one way or another.

Preferably slowly. Well, any normal person does, anyway.

Trust the leftards to make excuses about things like innocent until proven guilty, the detention of minors, in the world’s worst adult prisons, the notion of a fair trial in a country like Ethiopia. Trust some leftard organization to actually send someone like that food and a list of lawyers.

Typical.

Er, you didn’t disclose your background, Innocent. I haven’t seen your passport photo yet.

Are you our own kind?

Well.....

Unemployment

South Africa 1980 - 9.22%
South Africa 2013 - 25.74%


Violence & Crime

Since the fall of Apartheid, recorded violent crime has increased by 33%.
Police capture rates have fallen by 18%.


Recorded murders in Johannesburg 1980 - 2.4 per night

Recorded murders in Johannesburg 2002 - 14.6 per night


Karnal, if you want to go off topic at least be correct.

Apartheid Johannesburg was both a safer and more affluent place than today.

no, his visa says 'federal democratic republic of Ethiopia'.... I'm guessing he would have need of that visa only if his passport wasn't Ethiopian. After all, I know I've never needed a visa to enter Australia.

If you look closer, under Nat. (nationality) it says 'Aus'

Yes, I tend to do that. Cunning. Shifty.

Do you have a passport, Honky?

Andrei, the patriot, let his expire.

He’s an international jetsetting accountant. He travels business class, drinks Starbucks by the extra large cup, and throws his change at the bums.

But he’s too tight to fork out two hundred for an Australian passport.  He thinks "we" charge too much and should give people like "him" a special deal.

Funny thing is, Andrei actually DOES come from Africa.

The racists on this forum make me sick. Some teenager playing with a gun accidentally kills his young relative in a tragic accident, and you are trying to make some sick twisted political mileage out of it?

Imagine how the kid feels. You do realise that he is human being with feelings right?

Your lack of empathy suggests a psychopathic tendency.

Probably the passport photo and the name, Andrei Hicks.They think you’re not their kind.

That Afrikaans passport wouldn’t help either, Andrei.

So why is an Australian kid in Ethiopia less Australian and with less rights, history and loyalty than you?

He lives here and has a passport. You?

Looks like he has an African mother too. You?

No, Andrei, given the passport issue, I’d say that kid has a few more rights than you.

5 out of every Australians don't have a passport.

In fact many people with Australian passports are fking born overseas who came as migrants, who by definition are less Aussie than us who were born here!

None of my in laws in Townsville, and there are a lot of them, hold or have ever had a passport.
They are infinitely more Australian than these naturalised lot from Asia or Africa - who carry Aussie passports.

Passports are not a measure of belonging.

I feel loyal to Australia but travel the world on a UK passport.

Refugees are no longer rubbish people. They are now desperate people escaping persecution who need our care and support.

No wonder socialists have a hardon for illegals.
