Published Date: 16 January 2009
FEARS were raised yesterday that the Scottish Government might be preparing to allow the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, to return to Libya.
Alex Salmond was pressed on the issue during First Minister's Questions by Annabel Goldie, the Conservative leader, who said there was "deep unease" on the issue.

It followed revelations that the Scottish Government had held secret talks with Libya about sending Megrahi home.

However, Mr Salmond said he could not comment on an issue that might come before him for a ministerial decision and prejudice his or his government's position.

A Tory spokesman said: "Ms Goldie asked a general question and Mr Salmond's answer made it clear that he has left the door open to transferring serving prisoners abroad."

MEBO proposal:

For humanitarian and medical reasons the judges at the High Court in Edinburgh allow Mr. Abdelbaset Al Megrahi to leave Scotland for medical treatment in Switzerland. Mr Megrahis family will also get permission to stay with him in Switzerland.

The Swiss governement is already in contact with Scotland via legal international assistance in this case and would guarantee the Scottish authorities to hand over Mr Megrahi for his second appeal, if his state of health permits it.

After that 20th anniversary of the Lockerbie tragedy

How will the world be responsive to the largest miscarriage of justice in Scotland in the "Lockerbie Case", if the manipulated proofs discovered by MEBO must be confirmed at the end of Megrahis current appeal?

In 2005 Edwin Bollier presented to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) his own investigation thesis with determining facts, which among other things show clearly that no bomb suit-case was transported from air Malta via Frankfurt to London Heathrow and no MST-13 timer made for Libya was involved!
At the 28th of June 2007 the SCCRC granted Mr Abdelbaset al Megrahi a second appeal because of a possible miscarriage of justice.
