Veru miskin dal-bniedem, imma l-oxxenita prima saret taht il-lejber u riedu jkunu l-qrati li jaqtghu is-sentenza. Imma ghaliex ghandu jhallas it-taxpayer ghall-oxxenitajietr li saru minn haddiehor?

@ laurence schembri
If you read and understood what I wrote...I accused both political parties.MLP should be ashamed of what happened and PN for not giving this gentleman what is due to him to compensate for what he went through.
I ended my comment "FORGET POLITICS,ENFORCE JUSTICE FOR GOODNESS SAKE", what does that mean?
If you read the previous comments, other writers were poiticising the issue and for this gentleman its useless, all he wants is his compenstion, not pointing fingers at the political parties.
NO MATTER WHAT HE IS STILL SUFFERING!!

As if three years of physical torture and more than twenty of mental torture are not ENOUGH!
We as a nation should all be ashamed for not doing enough to stop this injustice and CRUELTY!
Please Hon. MInister for Justice stand up and be counted -
STOP THIS ATROCITY!

@ S Vella and Joe Borg
What has politics to do with what this man is due? Justice has been done and the guilty where punished. We are talking about a human being, please stop it.

Aren't the members of the Police Force personally responsible for their acts?

So, why don't the senior Police Officers responsible pay the bill?

Xoghol, GUSTIZZJA, u liberta......
The PN is always innocent. LP should be ashamed of what happened to this poor gentleman when they were in power but PN made a campaign of his frameup and still he is not compensated after all he went through....shame on whoever is responsable. I dont know how these people sleep in tranquility!!
Two negatives never make a positive, its useless accusing MLP for their responsabilty, this gentleman is waiting for is compensation never mind he sill continue to suffer what he went through untill his last breath. Forget politics enforce justice for goodness sake!!

@Albert Farrugia:::Come on Albert it was the MLP of that year 1987 that this event happened, but you have blamed for nothing the PN whom had in fact not been involved. May I suggest that this Court fee should be paid from the account of the PN since it was their responsibility. No less and no more, for once bitten twice shy.....Shame on that gang of Police that had done such an act against an innocent person. Let's hope that this be not forgotten for they would be ready to do it again and again, if ever elected, and mark my words!!

@ Albert Farrugia - you hit the wrong tree. The PN was not responsible for what really happened to this man. It was under the much hated Labour government of Mintoff adn KMB that this man was almost killed by the then 'criminal' police. Inflicting massive damage to the LP. The MLP inflicted the damage itself by using dictatorial means and brutality against its own members and the people of Malta. That is why labour is still feeling the pain of those hated years. So dont try to pin the blame on those who were on the receiving end. Dont try to change history or history will change you.

Sorry but who has to pay Mr. Mifsud - the goverment or the police force who were already found guilty and had to pay Mr. Mifsud over €180.000?

Gerald Cassar

Mr Mifsud in today's application said that a criminal case he had instituted in May 1987 against Supt Carmelo Bonello, Supt Joseph Psaila,...
.
Do these names of police officials strike a cord when reading their name.
Perhaps there is a political reason for the manner Mifsud is treated.

Regrettably, it seems that in our country it is much easier and more rapid for a Maltese citizen to be granted a 'pardon' / amnesty, suspended sentences or sanctions/regularization for wrongdoings (e.g. crime , tax evasion, tax- non compliance, Armier squatters, illegal buiding etc), than for an honest citizen, acknoledged by the courts to be a victim of the malfunction of the State and who after decades of legal proceedings, be rightfully compensated for any wrongdoing by the State and/or its agencies. In our country it seems that crime pays!!?. Shame.
I express my solidarity with Mr Anthony Mifsud.

Shame on the PN! Shame, shame, shame! After milking this guy's misfortunes totally dry, after using him successfully to inflict massive damage on the LP, the PN government not only forces him to exhaust the lengthy legal proceeding to obtain compensation, but several months afterwards, this pittance of an award remains unpaid! Shame!! And the irony of it all is that in those cruel, rotten MLP days, it took "only" 3 years for Mifsud to be declared innocent. Yet this person has been made to wait for TWENTY-FIVE years, more then TWENTY

Justice should be a prioroity to any authority!

As if this guy has not suffered enough. Why pile it up even more on him. For goodness sake pay him his due and allow him to live in peace and privacy as is the right of every citizen. What, but what are we waiting for!

Shame shame and once again shame on our courts of justice (sic). Their laziness means that the tax payer will have to bear the costs of their same laziness. Because it will be the same courts of justice which will order payment of an additional sum to this man. Maybe someone changes the law and put the magistrates and judges responsible for their laziness and lack of action.

All those who were ill treated should rightly be compensated by the state and those involved.

For god sake pay the man, plus interests. You had enough money to spend on St. Georges Square. Shame on all involved in this case. Some six years ago Austin Gatt said on TV that Anthony will get what is due to him inte very near future.
