Israel refuses to extradite alleged war criminal
Says statute of limitation has run out
by The Ukrainian News
As written in The Ukrainian News, December 7, 1998
(UkrNews)-Israel, on Dec. 7, refused to extradite an accused war
criminal to face trial in Poland, stating that the statute of limitations
had run out on the case and Canada's Ukrainian community has reacted with
fury.
A Dec. 7 Associated Press story carried by several Canadian newspapers,
among them The Toronto Star and The Calgary Herald reported that Israel's
Justice Ministry had refused to extradite Solomon Morel, who commanded a
camp for German prisoners in southern Poland, allegedly tortured inmates and
was considered responsible for at least 1,538 deaths.
Poland requested Morel's extradition in April on charges of beating and
torturing prisoners and creating inhuman conditions at the Swietochlowice
camp, which he commanded from February to November 1945, stated AP.
Israel refused the request last month, saying the statute of
limitations had run out on the case.
A spokeswoman for the Polish Justice Ministry, Barbara
Makosa-Stepkowska, said the charges against Morel failed to meet the
definition of genocide under Israeli law, according to the AP story.
She said Israel's decision ends the case in Poland, which lacks the
power to appeal. Morel could only be arrested if he left Israel,
Makosa-Stepkowska said.
The investigation into Morel, begun in 1992, was the only one in Poland
against a Jew accused of retaliating against the Germans after their defeat.
Polish investigators said "extremely bad conditions" at the camp,
including hunger, overcrowding and epidemic diseases, led to an unspecified
number of deaths.
Morel, who lost his parents and two brothers during the war, moved to
Israel in 1994, according to AP.
"The Canadian government can denaturalize and deport people without
even proving that these individuals committed any crime. But Israel has a
statute of limitations for war crimes. Shame on Canada and shame on Israel,"
wrote Mary Radewych of Etobicoke, whose father Vasyl Odynsky faces
deportation even though the government has not brought any charges of war
crimes against him, in a letter to The Toronto Star.
"How shocking that Israel would not allow for the extradition of a
communist mass murderer but insists on the rest of the world bringing
alleged Nazi war criminals to justice," echoed Dr. Jerry Grod, whose wife
Olya is another daughter of Odynsky's, in another letter to The Star.
"What a surprise to read about the double standard in Israel with
respect to the extradition of alleged war criminals," wrote Stefan
Lemieszewski of Coquitlam, BC in yet another letter.
"Israel demands the extradition of Mr. John Demjanjuk from U.S.A. and
proceeds with a show trial in a theatre court in Israel. But when it comes
to alleged war criminals living in Israel, like Solomon Morel, Israeli
statute of limitations result in harbouring alleged war criminals. And the
Canadian government is pressured into spending millions on commissions and
deportation and denaturalization policies because of alleged Nazi war
criminals living in Canada. It just doesn't make sense!" he said.
"To fend off accusations of hypocrisy and double standards, the Jewish
state can simply do what Canada did in 1987, under heavy pressure from
various Jewish lobbies, moreover: Draft a special retroactive,
extraterritorial law whereby Solomon Morel could be extradited to Poland to
face his accusers," offered Orest Slepokura of, Strathmore, AB.
"That Israel would refuse to extradite Mr Morel to Poland, there to
finally stand trial for his murderous deeds, allowing him to instead hide
behind the expiration of a statute of limitations, is indefensible. How can
organizations like the Simon Wiesenthal Center, or B'Nai Brith, or the World
Jewish Congress, who have together orchestrated such a concerted demand for
bringing alleged Nazi war criminals to justice, now allow such offensive
hypocrisy in Tel Aviv go unchallenged?" wrote Calgarian Borys Sydoruk in a
letter to The Herald. //
