Quest for Justice

Reading BBC News and I came across a piece on Ameneh Bahrami's fight for Justice, she is the victim of a vicious Acid attack that took place in Iran. As she had been blinded the Iranian courts ordered that her attacker blinded yet the punishment has not taken place yet. Piece Here

Human rights organisations have decided to raise their ugly heads and deem it as Inhuman and cruel, was it not inhuman and cruel when Majeed Movahidi threw acid in Ameneh Bahrami's face?

I really dislike Human rights organisation's as they always fight for the right of those who are in the wrong, you never hear them shouting from the roof tops about those who have been withheld justice when they were infact due it.

I do hope Ameneh Bahrami gets her Justice, as, as she says "If I forgive, I get nothing for forgiveness," - "The same if I take his eyesight, I get nothing. But I want people like Majeed to know that there is punishment." which I can fully agree with. Ameneh would send out such a message if his punishment is carried out, she may in fact be someone who contributes to these vicious acid attacks coming to a hault.

We could all learn something from Ameneh, when faced with such difficulties and change in her life, she is still such a strong person and knows what she wants. Understanding that these attacks will carry on if a clear message is not sent out to these future acid attackers.

If only we could do half of what Ameneh is suggesting and actually lock wrong doers behind bar's, rather than shying away from it - if we locked up even half the wrong doers it would be an improvement on current statistics.

Good Luck Ameneh, I hope you find peace one day with what has been inflicted upon you x

Why not just - move on?

 (See how they Lie - Yet no one seem's to mind - It was an 'Accident')

I want to see a change in the Justice System, a Change in people's attitudes to the Victims familes who have lost someone due to a dangerous driver, yet people scratch their head as to why - 
I get this from time to time, people saying 'It's over', 'Your never going to get anywhere'. The best one has got to have been the Procurator Fiscal for the Arbroath/Forfar Area decided to tell me that I was being a bad mother by trying to fight them on this. How this works I have no idea and how she would know again I have no idea, this is almost part time as not only do you have to wait on letters and phone calls back - Finding someone that will actually talk to you is a hell of a task.
It's again that word the 'Accident' word that makes people wonder, that word is the plague of it all, it minimizes what the dangerous driver or careless driver has done. I want to erase the word 'Car Accident' from use if the driver has killed or seriously injured someone.
I came across a group yesterday 'The Forgiveness Project' they feel that we should forgive those who have wronged us IE One story they use is a woman who forgave her son's killer, and I do not know the background of the people running it so I will not say that they have no idea what it is like. What I will say is everyone has a different story, and everyone is different in the way they cope - so forgiveness is not for everyone. Another thing the forgiveness group mentions is it is good for your health to forgive and I'd agree to this, I had a whole lot of anger pent up inside and still do - But it is hard to forgive when you feel like it is a betrayal to the one you lost. Personally I have more anger towards the system who denied me and my family justice. The anger is mainly directed at the fact a not proven verdict can never have another chance at being proven, and that the double jeopardy bill which should have been brought in to help people who feel they did not get the justice they deserved due to lies, and false defense.
The forgiveness Project is doing a talk on 'No Forgiveness without Justice?' Which I would love to attend as this is rather true, I do not think I will ever forgive fully but if I got some justice it would go a long way to helping me let go. I feel that if the person who has wronged admitted guilt, and took the punishment then it would be easier to forgive but when they put in the plea of not guilty when they are blatantly guilty then it is a slap across the face for the family they have wronged.
Moving on will take me changing the system, and changing how people think. Making Society and MSP's/MP's look at what needs changed, and how attitudes make the innocent families of victims feel like there is no one to turn to, no one to listen. Every time I have sent a letter, I have got nothing but a list of why thing's were not done differently, but I want a list of what I can do to change it - As a letter telling me things cannot be different is not going to stop me pursing this.
