The focus of the issue is this. If someone is an accomplice in breaking peoples fundamental human rights, it is a personal responsibility that cannot be passed on to a more senior ranking person. The same principles apply now in many walks of life. If the person was coerced into doing it, then of course it puts a different slant on it, but that's what courts are there for.

I don't think there is any suggestion that there is any impropriety in the court coming to its conclusion, and the accused does still have the right to appeal, so in my opinion, whatever the final conclusion is, it will be the correct judgement.
