Final Justice for Foreign Investor's                                           15. November  2009 - FAC-Technical Writer

T

he case of "George N." a European Citizen. George came 5 years ago to the Philippines as multi million Investor, received the highest Visa of the Country, due his substantial Investment, his social engagement  supported hospital and his heart for children's welfare. George build for his family a house near the beach to enjoy the warmth of his extended family in his golden age. His broad ed mind and life style was known as well he gave an helping hand to other foreign investors for their projects, but his fairytale took a bizarre turn and headed hell instead. Meanwhile he visit one of his friends, he helped a valid amount to ask the timely return. He was arrested by police - jailed in City-Jail - charged without Bail-Bond in a case by law with life time in prison. Thru a friend he contacted the Foreign Assistance Center and the Chairman visited George in prison. After review and fact-finding of his case, it can be stated that George was set-up by tampered evidences - he was arrested without warrant and due legal process was denied. He learned, that some unscrupulous Lawyers extorted and extracted him for millions he pay to them in his scary and deadly situation. At this moment F.A.C. communicated already with European Media and Embassies re his case of Injustice and F.A.C. found legals way's that George case might be soonest dismissed and he is released from City-Jail. The Justice System of the Philippines works - but his hardship has burn a remarkable wound to his soul - 7 month horrible prison - as an innocent Investor his mistake. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time to wrong friends. That he was used by criminal friends as a person to set him up for their crimes.
Re'sume' -  avoid to show money be critical to those real friends and have always the right legal assistance to avoid millions of losses or like in his case - your in-tire freedom. To avoid those acts of Injustice, the Foreign Assistance Center Chairman proposed already to the Hon. Supreme Court Chief  Justice Renato Puno, to create a special Court only to foreigners to evaluate the evidence first by a board of Judges - before it reach the table of the presiding Judge - because the Court can release the accused only after the trial and acquittal, sometime years of trial to avoid this human suffer as innocent is national interests to attract with more Security - more Foreign Investor's and Retirees to our Country and guard those with strictly Presumption of Innocence and as foreign guest with speedy trial to follow our honorable Supreme Court Ruling in 2004.

To proceed cases of foreigners fairly on their circumstances and not deport or charge them blindly - since national or higher Interests are involved as order from the Supreme Court in prerogative to our Country.

How then did the Release, and their Non-Extradition (deportation) to Burma?

Humanitarian Work can sometimes exist to build bridges, especially where there are political barriers to overcome in order to allow the actors, involved purely and simply more room for maneuver. For Humanitarian Work is often a balancing act between national interests and international political dependencies. Mr. Lehnert said: "Sometimes you hold the stick between freedom and death in his hand, and with that responsibility should be handled very sensitively and carefully.
The immigration authority requested in this particular case, then Mr. Lehnert, find a legal way to allow the release of the three Burman. Because otherwise, would have to be the detainees deported to a valid law, which would have meant that they were convicted in their home country for the death penalty or life imprisonment – On the Spurious Grounds - for unauthorized Escape from Burma.

After two unsuccessful applications, Mr. Lehnert was able to win the famous Bishop of the Wesleyan Church of the Philippines and the Law firm Romeo Dolleton in Laguna, that ensured the three Myanmars a guarantee. The Commissioner M.C. Libanan then allowed by the Executive Law, the release on humanitarian grounds.
