A triumph in the Rule of Law: Mr. Seidenfeld is acquitted on all charges!!! Over at the Save Mark Seidenfeld site, Derek Bloom has listed the findings of the court, which include:
That in refutation of all allegations, Mr. Seidenfeld neither kept back money or equipment for his own personal gain.
That he should be freed immediately, and that he has the right to sue his accusers for damages inflicted.
Mark Seidenfeld has been in jail since December 7, 2005, on frivolous and insidious charges–but no longer. Based upon an article in the New York Times, I first wrote about this case on April 25, 2007, and looked at some of the evidence on May 2, 2007, with other updates.
Best wishes to Mr. Seidenfeld in all his endeavours, and also to the Kazakhstan law officials, especially the judge, who got to the bottom of the whole affair and insisted upon justice.
