FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“It would not be appropriate for the Australian government to advocate
for a pardon when there is no dispute that Mssrs Morant, Handcock and Witton
actually committed the killings of unarmed Boer prisoners and others,”
Ms Roxon wrote in a letter to Commander Unkles.
“I consider that seeking a pardon for these men could be rightly
perceived as ‘glossing over’ very grave criminal acts.” Commander
Unkles said Ms Roxon or her advisers were afraid of offending the British
Government and had “made a political decision”.
“They don’t want to offend the British, and there are powerful
institutions and individuals in this country who want to make sure that this
case goes no further,” he told ABC radio.
“According to military law at the time, these men were entitled to a full
and fair trial, and in particular that they had a right of appeal. The
British denied that right of appeal and gave them 18 hours’ notice before
two of them were executed.”
An Australian historian, Craig Wilcox, said the court-martial had been fair
and lasted about five weeks – far longer than the standard three days for
civilian murder trials.
It was thorough; it was fair by the standards of the day,” he said.
“One of their own men said that any idea of orders was a bogus idea. No
evidence of any orders have ever been found.”
