#1 On Monday, their lawyer Nafees Siddiqi said he filed a fresh bail application with the High Court ...

Was the first bribe not big enough to spring them?

#2 Here's a clue, no charge: Hunger strikes only work against governments that actually give a sh*t whether you live or die. Dumbasses.

#3 the tenure of the rich , fertile land in zimbawe during colonial times was under the white ruling dictatorship. What percent of the rich land is actually in the hands of the white people? What percent in the hands of the black people? The people of Zimbawe is ... What percent white?...... What percent colour?....... The legacy of colonialism was a devastating blow to the mayority of the people of Zimbawe. What did the white minority government do for education of blacks in the country? ...For housing?... For health?... For the general development of the country?...
Before to make an opinion I rather to be well informed first. So, please send me more information wich includes your points of view and also that from the government of the country. What is the intention of the government when it introduced "land reform"?.What especific details are in it ?
How this reforms affect white people? black?
Is there the posibility of concensus in procedures and objectives for the future of the country by acting together?

#4 In true French tradition, they gave up:
Two French journalists imprisoned for visa offences in Pakistan have stopped their hunger strike, their lawyer said. Marc Epstein and Jean-Paul Guilloteau began a fast earlier on Monday to protest against their imprisonment. The journalists' lawyer, Nafees Siddiqi, said they had ended their hunger strike "on the advice of the French diplomatic authorities, their own magazine's management and myself".

Bwahahahaha!

#6 Hohoho this is so rich, 1) they think the pakpolice care, 2) they 'starve' for less than a day, 3) they give up.

Journalists are so full of themselves.

Oh, and Guillermo - I think you're in the wrong thread.

#8 Tony - but they prolly threatened to taunt them a second time if their demands are not met. Think Chirac will begin his finger-wagging routine with Perv over this?
