Free Christopher Tappin now!
Posted Today, 08:57 AMI would like to bring to the attention to all US citizens the harm that the extradition and treatment given this 65-year old British pensioner CHRISTOPHER TAPPIN is doing to the way the world views the behavior and standing of the USA.
It is alleged he took part in the export of industrial batteries to IRAN.
CHRISTOPHER TAPPIN shackled in Texas Court
Locking this frail old dignified man in a small window-less cell for 23 hours a day.
So much for "the land of the free" The treatment of this "innocent until proven guilty" man is nothing short of barbaric.
Tappin's MP, Tory Jo Johnson, and UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has known the businessman for nearly 40 years, urged Home Secretary Theresa May to intervene to ensure the US authorities did not object to bail.
On Tuesday, his wife broke down in tears as she told MPs of her despair that nobody was prepared to listen to her husband's defence before "carting him off".
Christpher Tappin has spent £250,000 defending this.
Tappin's case fuelled the row over the fairness of the extradition treaty between the UK and the US.
If Tappin is refused bail, don't expect a very warm welcome if you come to the UK for Olympics!
