Mercenary: Simon Mann’s lawyers ‘don’t know where he is’

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

London – A Briton alleged to be the mastermind behind a foiled coup in Equatorial Guinea has been “kidnapped” and his legal team has lost contact with him, his lawyer said on Monday.

Simon Mann was flown out of Zimbabwe, where he was in prison, early on Thursday after being handed over to officials from Equatorial Guinea without the knowledge of his representatives.

Andy Kerman, Mann’s London-based lawyer, said: “It’s the most terrible, terrible thing this, that he’s been kidnapped”, adding that his legal team last spoke to him last on Monday.

“Simon Mann has been abducted from prison in Zimbabwe and we don’t know where he is,” he said.

“It’s alleged that he has been taken to Equatorial Guinea but we do not know if that’s the case, we have had no confirmation.

“The information from the Zimbabwean authorities is thin in the extreme and is inconsistent.

“If it has happened it’s a disgraceful conspiracy by either the Zimbabwean government or rogue elements and the government of Equatorial Guinea.”

Kerman said his team was seeking further information on what had happened but declined to give further details of the steps being taken.

Mann, a former officer in Britain’s special forces, was arrested in Harare alongside 61 others in 2004.

The group was accused of stopping to pick up weapons there while on their way to Malabo to oust President Teodoro Obiang Nguema, although Mann said they were en route to the Democratic Republic of Congo and needed the weapons for a security contract.

Mann was jailed for seven years but the term was later reduced and he completed his sentence on arms charges last May. At the time of his deportation, he was being held on an immigration warrant. – Sapa-AFP
