As reported on in an earlier post, dying convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmet Al-Megrahi was rejected on his appeal to be released on bail due to advanced prostate cancer.

Megrahi’s wife and family participated in the Silent Walk For Justice, which took place in Edinburgh, Scotland to raise awareness of “victims of miscarriages of justice.”

At the demonstration, Megrahi’s lawyer read a statement on behalf of Megrahi’s wife, Aisha. He read, “We are here for the sake of all those innocent souls who are suffering in silence…I call upon the people of Scotland, whom I know to be compassionate people, and all humanitarian institutions to consider the suffering of my husband.”

Family and friends of other victims of the justice system also used this opportunity to bring light to their loved ones’ situations by carrying photographs and candles during the protest.
