Judges' and 'prosecutors' who need to be placed behind bars so no longer does their corrupted mentality come into contact with ordinary humans!
Why these creatures consider themselves in any way worthy to 'judge' and 'penalize' a human escapes me — especially a human that has some backbone and has irrefutable morality!

Sailor who refused to learn how to fire a gun because of 'immoral' Afghan war jailed for seven months
6th July 2011
A Royal Navy medic was jailed for seven months today after he refused to draw a gun because he disagreed with the war in Afghanistan.

Leading Medical Advisor Michael Lyons disobeyed the order by an officer to pick up an SA80 as part of rifle training on the grounds that it was 'against his moral beliefs.'
Lyons, 25, told a court martial he became disillusioned with the service after reading about troops killing civilians on whistle-blowing website Wikileaks.
He had already applied for, but had been denied, conscientious objector status when he was ordered to undertake the rifle training before a tour to Afghanistan.
Lyons was due to begin a two-week rifle course at HMS Excellent, a shore base in Portsmouth, last September but requested to be re-listed in a non-combative role.
On arrival he claimed it was his right not to take part in any combat training while he appealed the decision not to grant him conscientious objector status.
A panel of five Naval officers at a court martial at HMS Nelson, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, today found Lyons guilty of wilfully disobeying a lawful order.
Lyons, who joined the Navy at 18 and denied the charge, was only the third sailor in history to use conscientious objector as a defence at court martial.
He was demoted to the rank of Able Seaman, dismissed from the service and sentenced to seven months at the Colchester Military Corrective Training Centre in Essex.
Judge Advocate Alistair McGrigor told him:
‘The service bond is based on the equal sharing of risk and danger.
‘The consequences of your action meant that someone else's life was put in danger as they replaced you on that tour.

‘We are undecided if your views are genuine or if you grasped them because you did not want to serve in Afghanistan.
‘You had engineered the decision so you would not be sent on tour.
‘Service personnel who fail to do their duty create a situation where other soldiers who might also have misgivings about dangerous situations could also disobey orders.
‘Members of the armed forces cannot pick and choose which orders they want to carry out.’
Prosecutor Commander Darren Reed told the hearing today:
‘What distinguishes a military force from an armed mob is discipline.
‘Lyons was given a lawful order which he was capable of carrying out and should have obeyed but he did not.
‘His own personal political view of the war in Afghanistan does not offer a defence.
‘Like all other serving personnel, he doesn't get to pick and choose which orders he obeys.’
In December 2009 married Lyons became the first person to appear before the Advisory Committee on Conscientious Objectors since 1996.
His attempts to be discharged failed because the committee ruled his reasons were political rather than moral.
Defending Fiona Edington told the hearing:
‘We have to look at this man and ask 'should you accept blind obedience in uniformed service?'
‘He's quietly gone about his business and been discreet and enquiring.
‘There's been no grandstanding, he's given his evidence from his heart and his conscience.’
During his evidence Lyons, wearing his Navy medic's uniform, said he had become a conscientious objector after reading the Wikileaks reports of civilian casualties.
He said:
‘My initial objections started with Afghanistan and I wanted to investigate the reasons why we were at war.
‘At the time Wikileaks came along and mentioned about Iraq and Afghanistan.
‘The reports said there had been some civilian casualties that nobody knew about and they were being covered up.
‘After a lot of deliberation I decided I was a conscientious objector.
‘I have never attempted to influence people, I've had lively debates with my co-workers but I have never thrust my beliefs on people.

‘If I felt the war was right I could have carried out my job as a medic, but without a weapon.
‘I could not obey the order because I had my appeal coming up and it would not look good if I had trained to become an expert with an SA80.
‘There was no medical reason why I could not serve and if I had no inner thoughts or emotions I could have carried out the order.
‘The Geneva Convention says medics are non-combative and we are only allowed to protect our patients if we have to.’
Lyons, of Plymouth, Devon, who denied the charge of disobeying a lawful command, added:
‘I approached the instructor and straight away I told him I could not take part.
‘He gave me the order to attend the armoury with him, but my reply was that I was unable to because I am a conscientious objector.
‘I was respectful of his rank and we made conversation in his office. He did not quite know what to do with me and said he'd never heard anything like this.
‘I consider medical officers not to have a combative role. We had a chat and then he ordered me back to my unit.’
Military police later interviewed Lyons and he told them:
‘My political and moral beliefs since I joined the Navy at 18 have changed considerably.
‘I feel I do not want to carry a weapon and I think the war in Afghanistan is morally and politically wrong.’
After the sentence Lyons' supporters stood on their feet and clapped as he was marched from the court martial.
Emma Sangster, from military support group Forces Watch, said on behalf of Lyons' wife Lillian:
‘She is horrified at the decision.
‘It is an extremely harsh sentence that has been given not only to punish Michael for disobedience, but to deter others from taking that action.
‘I think he is extremely courageous and is the one person who is willing to put their hands up and say 'I do not believe in this.'
‘To go through that whole process and to stick to his conscience is totally admirable.
‘For the judge to throw doubt on whether his objection was genuine illustrates that the military do not take conscientious objectors seriously.’
