Have posters on here actually read Amaral's book?

Marcos Correia currently has a case pending in The EU Court re The Torture of Leonor Cipriano in PJ Custody.  The EU Court has accepted his complaint.  We now have to await the outcome.  This could take a number of years.

It took The EU Court thirteen years to rule on The Winter Fuel Allowance for British Pensioners living in Europe.  We won, by the way.
I am currently doing battle to get back payments, and at the moment it is looking good.
Sorry if that is off topic.

Can be damn cold in Brittany!

So it can be cold in Brittany, Debunker.  My lavatory cistern once stayed frozen for three weeks. 

But you would hardly believe the prurient lengths  to which they have gone to avoid paying me Back Payments, despite admitting that I was entitled.  And even paying me for 1999.  Got that one in the bank.
Sheesh, they must think I came up The Clyde on a water biscuit.  Or maybe they are hoping I will die before they give in.  No chance.  This is what is keeping me going at the moment. £2,500 is not to be given up on.

But I suppose that my point is that Leonor Cipriano is going to have to wait for some time.  Beyond the fact that The EU Court doesn't accept cases without merit.  They have accepted the case of Leonor Cipriano, brought on her behalf by Marcus Correia.

I cycled there once in March, hoping for an early spring. All I got was frozen nether regions!

Yer, well, Brass Monkeys and all that.  Thank God for more clothes when The British Government illegally deprives you of an Allowance that you have paid for throughout your working life.

Ultimately, The EU Court isn't of much use with immediate problems, and nor is Amnesty International, who have absolutely no clout when it comes to Human Rights.
Goncalo Amaral has been named by them as an abuser, and what good has that done for anybody, least of all Leonor Cipriano.  Oh, and her brother Jaoa Cipriano who appears to have caved in before anyone actually beat seven bells of shit out of him.  And I can't say that I blame him for that.

But has it not occurred to anyone that there has been a campaign to blacken the name of Marcus Correia, simply because he had the audacity to bring to light Police Brutality?
