The fact that Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, is refusing to die on schedule makes no difference whatsoever to the decision to release him – based carefully and correctly on all the legal conditions required to justify this ("So daft to expect Gaddafi to retire to Dun-dictating, The Herald, July 28).
The trial of this man at Camp Zeist remains a blot on Scotland’s record. It cannot be described as a “fair trial”, as Hans Koechler, the UN observer at the court, observed. I find it painful to have it described as a Scottish trial.
Decision to free Megrahi was right
