Seychellois - History has recorded and noted the past events of our young republic. We all know the reasons evoked for the rape and pillage of our Constitution by our then prime minister, Albert Rene. According to his reasoning he came to the 'rescue' of the people saving us from an assured 'dictatorship' of President James Mancham! 'Playboy'! 'President for Life'! 'Corrupt Practices'! Were but some of the reasons that the prime minister told us were the justifications for the revolution brought on by patriots of the people's militia, removing Mancham and by popular demand, and annointing Rene caretaker president until the new regime could be 'legalised'! We all know that the reasons for the coup as dreamt up by none other than Albert Rene were false and nothing but lies! As a result of the 'Rene Revolution' Seychelles suffered loss of life! Citizens never to be seen again! False imprisonments! Exile! Forced acquisition of personal properties! And a move towards a socialist autocratic rule! Rene appointed himself defacto ruler via manipulated 'popular elections' and set about to rule the country with an iron fist! Nothing lasts forever and one day the truth will be officially recognised, and those who conspired with Rene will have to answer to the Republic and the people. No amount of titles or laws enacted by the regime of the SPUP/SPPF/PP will bar the truth from coming to the surface! Our true history will not be denied and the truth will be known and appreciated by all! - T.L. Laurence
Montevideo, Uruguay -- A court sentenced former Uruguayan President Juan Maria Bordaberry to 30 years in prison on Wednesday for the coup that consolidated his power in 1973 and for human rights violations.
Judge Mariana Mota convicted Bordaberry of violating the constitution, nine counts of "forced disappearance" and two counts of political homicide.
Bordaberry, 81, had already been under house arrest since 2007 for the killings of two opposition legislators in 1976.
Bordaberry assumed office in 1972 following an election that has since been questioned. In 1973, he backed a military coup that kept him in power, and dissolved congress and suspended the country's constitution. The military pushed him out in favor of another leader in 1976. Source CNN
