Act on petition to Holyrood calling for inquiry into Megrahi conviction
It is imperative that the Justice Committee at Holyrood not only considers but acts upon the petition calling for an inquiry into the conviction of Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi ("Lockerbie relatives hail MSPs' decisions", The Herald, June 29).
This was arguably the biggest trial in Scottish legal history, not only due to the magnitude of the charges against the defendants but also considering its unique setting at Camp Zeist. Surely in such a case as big as this it is vital to ensure that justice was served? If a full inquiry can be conducted, whether it is done domestically or internationally through the United Nations, then it will go a long way to not only finding out the real truth about what happened in terms of the bombing but also whether Megrahi’s conviction was safe and proven beyond all reason doubt.
