Michael Doherty BCG Conference 2015

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Doherty at the court hearing when the parents Chiwar and Gloria Musa each received their 7 years sentence, on August 14th 2012 at Wood Green crown court – this 7 year sentence was for the completely non-existent  “mistreatment” of their children by them, after a flimsy trial,  which included a particularly insufferable performance by an equally flimsy defence team for the Musas, who were an utter disgrace with their abysmal display of defending two innocent citizens. Well, they got away with it.  Another travesty was the reporting of the case in the media afterwards – this from the “Huffington Post”, who published this utter fictitious account of events, along with 15 other media outlets calling themselves “news-papers” who reproduced, more or less, identical reports [the “news-papers” included “the People”, for example, and the “London Evening Standard”] = http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/08/19/michelle-collins-child-torture-hell_n_1805877.html

Having been released in November 2014 from prison, after a sentence which featured much targeting against the Musas by certain individuals from where they were, Chiwar and Gloria Musa were deported back to their home country – Africa, in late November 2014, without their children, of course. Nobody connected to the case knows anything more about these 7 siblings than they did in August 2012, and that info was extremely scant too.

 At least in Nigeria Gloria could receive the urgent and very serious medical treatment she had been deprived of for so long while ensconced in HM prisons here. Whether Gloria will ever walk again still remains to be seen, as the untreated and very serious ailments she had no treatment for during the 3 years while convicted have now reached a stage whereby possibly her mobility has been compromised forever, sadly.

After returning home Chiwar and Gloria asked that all references to their case be removed from the Internet, as a fresh start was beginning after their hell of being in the UK. This request has been followed up, with over a hundred articles being withdrawn from this blog alone. The  family were visitors only to this country, on short visas, and nothing more, and what happened to them is truly unspeakable, and it is a great shame that some of the absolute horrors that occurred to this family is not being reported. However, the 16 or so articles by the “Sunday Telegraph”s investigative reporter Christopher Booker are still viewable, or were, online, so at least there’s these accounts from the sidelines still in existence.
