Special Court: Clearance for Hinga Norman Appeal

The judges of the trial chamber of the special court for Sierra Leone has given leave to Samuel Hinga Norman (CDF first accused) and Moinina Fofanah (CDF second accused) to appeal the chamber’s recent decision on a subpoena on president Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.

This opens the way for the Hinga Norman defence team to realize their dream of appealing the decision and if they succeed, to force president Kabbah to appear as a witness for the Norman defence.

Reverend Alfred SamForay,a vibrant Hinga Norman loyalist, recently revealed that the Norman defence would close their next presentations in September "with a bang" by not only appealing the recent court decision that turned down the subpoena, but will also bring in other top notch foregn witnesses like Nigerian army general Wan Mohamed, a former ECOMOG commander. They hope to use the Nigerian to prove that president Kabbah allegedly ordered the bombing of innocent civilians during the country’s brutal war.
