PISSI mercenaries, Australia
lundi 9 janvier 2023 à 15:01Australia has brought home some Australians supporters of PISSI who were in prison camps in Syria. Now one of them is facing charges of going to Syria to support PISSI.
I think it was right to bring them home, and right to prosecute those who supported PISSI. Other countries should do likewise. Exile should not be used as a punishment for a crime, and imposing any punishment for any alleged crime without a trial is even worse.
However, the actual charge is "Travelling to Raqqa." That action is being used as a proxy for the act of going to support PISSI. The prosecution of an action which is only a proxy for the real accusation seems wrong to me.
