Listen UP,Dr Zahid Hamid: France is not Malaysia
Lawyer Joseph Brehem, who is now in France pursuing a exploration in to a Malaysian squeeze of French submarines, rebutted Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's matter that a French courts have no jurisdiction over Malaysians.
"French courts have jurisdiction on anyone, being French or not, as soon as
they have been involved in a matter a courts have been inquiring on. To contend differently is either misleading or erroneous," Brehem (right in photo) pronounced in a matter issued by Suaram today.
Suaram, a local tellurian rights NGO, has filed a polite suit with a French courts to demeanour in to a government's squeeze of a submarines.
Yesterday Ahmad Zahid insisted that a French courts have no jurisdiction to serve Malaysians to attest in a ongoing inquiry.
Warrant of Arrest
"Who have been they to emanate a aver of arrest? We have been not subjected to French laws," he said.
He was responding to an progressing matter by Brehem that an general detain aver can be issued by a French decider if a declare refuses to assist in an exploration following a issuance of a subpoena.
"If a declare refuses to abide by a subpoena, a court can eman! ate a no tice mandat d'amener, compelling a declare to crop up prior to it. If a declare (still) fails to oblige, a aver of detain may be issued.
"The aver of detain is applicable inside of a French territory, and may be internationalised if a decider deems it necessary," pronounced Brehem.
Ahmad Zahid is named in a list of 7 witnesses due by Suaram, that was supposed by French investigating decider Roger Le Loire.
However, this does not mean that all 7 witnesses, together with Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his join forces with Abdul Razak Baginda, will be subpoenaed by a inquiry. The French decider is now in a routine of arising subpoenas.
