French Groups Protest Evidence Hand-Over
"French human rights groups yesterday condemned the decision on Wednesday by Germany and France to hand over to the US evidence for the trial of alleged al-Qaeda terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, arguing that it could be used to support his execution."
"Mr Moussaoui's French lawyer, Francois Roux, also rejected the two governments' official argument that the evidence provided to the US would not be used to help condemn Mr Moussaoui to death. "France has just reintroduced the death penalty by proxy," he told a news conference in Montpellier, southern France. "This time it won't be the guillotine but the electric chair."
