UK 最高裁判所 支配するs 抑留 of Northern Ireland's Adams unlawful
LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - The British 最高裁判所 overturned two 1975 有罪の判決s of Irish 国家主義者 leader Gerry Adams for 刑務所，拘置所 escape 試みる／企てるs in Northern Ireland during its 衝突, 判決，裁定 on Wednesday that his 初期の 抑留 without 裁判，公判 had been unlawful.
Adams, who stood 負かす／撃墜する in 2018 as 長，率いる of Sinn Fein, the main party …に反対するing British 支配する of Northern Ireland, was の中で hundreds of people held without 裁判，公判 in the 早期に 1970s under a 政策 meant to break the ゲリラ兵 Irish 共和国の／共和党の Army.
The 衝突 between おもに Protestant Unionists who favour continued British 支配する and おもに カトリック教徒 Irish 国家主義者s ended with the Good Friday 協定 in 1998, and Sinn Fein under Adams later joined 力／強力にする-株ing 政府s in the 地域.
About 3,500 交戦的なs, 兵士s and 非軍事のs were killed in the violent period known as the Troubles. The 抑留 of 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うd 交戦的なs was one of the most 議論の的になる elements of the British 反対する-暴動 （選挙などの）運動をする.
While Adams did not 論争 the two escape 試みる／企てるs, his lawyers argued that he had not been 合法の 拘留するd in the first place.
The 法廷，裁判所 agreed, 説 that the 抑留 order that led to Adams' 拘留，拘置 had not been considered by a British 閣僚 大臣, known as a 長官 of 明言する／公表する, but by a lower-level 大臣.
The "momentous" 決定／判定勝ち（する） on whether to 拘留する a person without 裁判，公判 should have been made by the 国務長官 himself, a 全員一致の 判決，裁定 by the 最高裁判所 said.
The 暫定的な 保護／拘留 Order under which Adams was 拘留するd was 無効の and "it follows that he was not 拘留するd 合法の," the 判決，裁定 said.
"It その上の follows that he was wrongfully 罪人／有罪を宣告するd of the offences of 試みる／企てるing to escape from lawful 保護／拘留 and his 有罪の判決s for those offences must be quashed."
Adams, who was 宣告，判決d to 18 months in 刑務所，拘置所 for the escape 試みる／企てるs, welcomed the 判決，裁定 and called for the British 政府 to identify and 知らせる other 抑留者s whose 抑留 may also have been unlawful.
"Of course 抑留, later 述べるd as 拘留，拘置 by the British, was never lawful. In fact it 始める，決める aside the normal 原則s of 法律 and was based on a blunt and 残虐な piece of coercive 法律制定," Adams said in a 声明.
Adams took over as leader of Sinn Fein in 1983 when it was the アイルランド共和国軍´s political wing, 設立するing himself as the main political leader of the movement to end British 支配する of Northern Ireland. He has always 否定するd 会員の地位 of the アイルランド共和国軍.
Adams was 最初 拘留するd in Belfast´s Maze 刑務所，拘置所 in 1973. On one of his 試みる／企てるs to 逃げる, he switched places with a 訪問者 at the 刑務所，拘置所 who had been 誘拐するd while waiting at a bus stop, a Belfast 法廷，裁判所 heard in 2018.
A man who bore a resemblance to Adams had been taken against his will to a house where his hair was dyed and he was given a 誤った 耐えるd, によれば the 証拠. The substitution was spotted by 刑務所，拘置所 staff. (報告（する）／憶測ing by Conor Humphries and Michael Holden Editing by Peter Graff and Angus MacSwan)
