    "The Criminal Court recently ruled that Phan, the taxi driver, was hit and killed by bullets shot by soldiers performing their duty at the order of the Centre for the Resolutions in the Emergency Situation (CRES)."

    That would mean that the CRES issued an order to shoot unarmed people. Is that realy the case?

    How can there ever be a murder charge against a leader of state who wants to protect his citizens against the terror attacks of a group of terrorists financed from abroad????
