Why some important details and abnormalities in Martha’s case are still missing on websites?

Why?
There are few reasons and they are equally important:
1. Because there are too few of us.
2. Because we don’t have enough time for everything.
3. Because websites are a support for CURRENTLY needed legal actions regarding Martha’s defense.

The websites were created late, way too late.
And in fact, they were created “just in case”.
While entering a plane to Ireland, a decision was made to create the websites.
On October 11, 2017, a day before the verdict by the Court of Appeals.
“Just in case”… in case… The Court made an unfavorable verdict.
“Just in case”… On the day of announcement of the verdict in Ireland, in Poland a reportage of “TVN Uwaga” program was aired. Only thing that could change is a comment, depending on the verdict of the Court of Appeals.
“Just in case”…
Did we “open the door to disaster”?
Or maybe we have foreseen, that when there is such media campaign in Ireland against Martha, then nothing good can come out of this?
That there will be no way to talk about any justice?

The websites are a support for currently needed legal actions.
Those legal actions are various, on various stages.
1. Martha’s Case in the Central Court – AT THAT TIME all details regarding Martha’s case were needed – unfortunately, the websites didn’t run.
2. The Court of Appeals – analyzed only the procedural errors of the Central Court (the websites were started on the day of verdict announcement – again too late).
3. Supreme Court – complaint of constitutional nature
4. European Court of Human Rights – violation of human rights

The case can be resubmitted to the Court in Ireland if NEW FACT are to appear, NEW FACTS in the case.

So at the current stage, nobody in Ireland seem to care what really happened.
But the truth is important.
For the family of the deceased.
For plenty of people.
We don’t just want to satisfy curiosity.
The websites will run, and all the details of the tragedy will be published.

HERDA vs. IRELAND – The attorney sends an appeal to ECHR

On Monday, November 12, Martha’s current attorney – Frank Gearty, sent an appeal to the ECHR.
To the application signed by Martha, the attorney attached all the documentation confirming the arguments raised.
Whole package was sent to Strasbourg.

The deadline for submitting an apllication expires on November 20, 2018.

What will the decision of European Court be?
Will it support Martha’s opinion, that her human rights were violated in Ireland?
Will the arguments presented prove to be sufficient?

All we can do is wait…
…and have hope…
We are very happy that an International Court will look into Martha’s case.
International Court in Strasbourg.

No matter the verdict…
…SHAME ON YOU IRELAND!…
…so that the poor girl would have to complain to the European Court…

Visit of the solicitor, Frank Gearty – Martha signs an application to ECHR

On Saturday, November 10, Martha was visited by her attorney, Frank Gearty.
The main goal of the visit was discussing the issues related with submitting the application to European Court of Human Rights.
Martha got acquainted with prepared application.
Martha, just as her family, agree with the application prepared by an attorney Frank Gearty.

This is probably the first document in Martha’s case that is “on the topic”.
Specific and factual.
Arguments used are convincing even for people not knowing anything about the law.
Because every human knows and understands what rights he or she has.
And feels when his or her rights, HUMAN RIGTS, were violated.

We thank to the attorney Frank Gearty for his very good work.

Martha signed the application to European Court of Human Rights.

She didn’t want to leave a copy of the document for her in prison.

Reasonable preparations for key months for Martha

Nearest months will be decisive for Martha’s case.
What we are preparing for, and what are we planning in the nearest months?
1. Preparation and submission of an application to European Court of Human Rights (September, October).
2. We are preparing all new facts for resubmitting the case to the Court in Ireland.

Those actions are aimed not only at freeing Martha, but also clearing her from the gruesome and absurd accusation: premeditated murder.
It’s a FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND FOR JUSTICE
(In today’s world freedom is a relative concept, and there is no justice at all. There is no doubt, however, that currently Martha does not experience either FREEDOM, or JUSTICE.)

As always, there is a third way:
3. Martha may decide that she wants to serve her sentence in Poland.
But then our fight will cease to be a fight for justice (clearing her from an absurd accusation will be impossible).

We want to use our time reasonably.
Due to a string of actions, there may be a reduction of number of posts on our websites.
Please do not take this as a decreasing of our interest in mutual cooperation.
We appreciate sincere interest in Martha’s problem, and a will to help.
Also, such interest and support gives us strength in this incredibly difficult fight.

In the nearest future we are planning to update all important information missing on our websites. Announcements of appearing of this posts were published long ago.
Refining of those posts also requires us to devote more time.
Those information will certainly be very important in creating the proper opinion on Martha’s case.
In the same time we will write less about does Martha drink coffee in prison, and  when she eats popcorn.
We will avoid something, what sometimes could be called “forced posts”.
We have a lot to write about, but we lack of one thing that Martha has too much: time.
We don’t hide that it took less time for us to write about what happened to Martha in prison on a given day, but…
We won’t stick at all cost to previous plan to publish one post a day.
Soon we will start (or for some people restart) closer exchange of emails with people, who are truly interested in Martha, and want to help us.
This way we will start giving access to more confidential information, that will not be published on the websites.

The  end of summer holiday is inevitably coming…
With new strengths, with positive attitude, reasonably, with intensification of actions in a short period of time…
There is a big chance, that the end of the year will bring the desired breakthrough in the case…
It’s time…

Second Enormous Request – WE ASK YOU VERY MUCH for valuable advice regarding preparing the application for European Court of Human Rights

Due to preparing of Martha’s case for submission before European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, WE ASK YOU VERY MUCH for help.
We ask people with experience for professional advice.
Maybe we have missed something important.

It’s no secret what arguments will be used.
It will be at least 3 main points:
1. Lack of translator in the beginning and accepting by the court of a single, unconfirmed testimony of a witness, about the words allegedly spoken by Martha.
2. Lack of a solicitor in the starting period of testimonies before GARDA.
3. … (this we don’t to reveal at this stage).

At least three main points, the rest is a background.
The background of the case is:
media campaign against Martha,
sentencing Martha by the media before the trial,
carelessness of the investigation,
the way and the length of interrogation by GARDA,
interpreting all the circumstantial evidence to the detriment of Martha,
skipping the facts that could disprove the validity of these circumstantial evidence,
discrimination on every stage.

These are our initial thoughts in case of Martha.
We will be grateful for every advice and conclusions.

We ask very much for every suggestion that can be useful during preparing the application for European Court of Human Rights.

We ensure confidentiality.
Valuable suggestions please send to the e-mail addres:
help@helpformartha.org

We thank you fro the heart for help.
We will accept any suggestion with appreciation.
