...a senior party member accused of raping a woman 'comrade'!
Uh-oh. The extreme left Socialist Workers' Party are in doo-doo for this one. Major doodoo.
Quote:
Socialist Workers' Party held 'sharia-style court' to exonerate party member accused of raping female 'comrade'- SWP exonerated man accused of sexually assaulting female party member
- Party 'does not have faith in bourgeois court system to deliver justice'
- Accusation was heard by 'disputes committee' and not reported to police
The Socialist Workers' Party 'set up a court' where they investigated an accusation from one of their members that another member had raped them.The far-left party heard that instead of reporting the grave accusation to police, a disputes committee heard 'evidence' from both the accused and the accuser, before a panel exonerated the man - known as 'Comrade Delta' - for the alleged rape.
The minutes of the meeting have been revealed after furious members of the Party leaked details to a Labour Party member blogger, who posted the full account online.
Reading some of the left-wing blogs, including the
left-wing Harry's Place, makes me think that this is going to end in tears for the SWP. It looks as though the SWP may well implode.
Frankly, they deserve everything they get.
