Re: [mukto-mona] Gay mathematician gets royal pardon



Talking about 'childish' talk, I am quite disappointed with this gentleman, who writes his name as Dr. Anisur (or A) Rahman. I did not dignify his personal attacks on this thread against me with any response.

One must realise that Alan Turing broke the law as it was in existence in 1952. So he was convicted and castrated, not imprisoned, as per his wish. 
Now 50 or so years later that law has been changed and Alan Turing, a brilliant British mathematician, had been granted pardon retrospectively and it is the most decent thing the British government and the British Royalty can do.
The same high standards and magnanimity cannot be assigned to America. When scores of people from across the globe had been kidnapped and imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay on suspicion of terrorism and many of them had been found to be totally innocent, American government did not come up and apologised to them and compensated them for the injustice. When millions of blacks had been mistreated, segregated and denied opportunities in 1950s and 1960s, American government did not compensate them. 
So, one should not throw stone while living in a glass house!

   I really think Sukhamay hit on the right point .  What 'pardon'?  --  The British Govt. should be paying compensation to Alan Turin . . .

I have serious problems with the words, "pardon" and "amnesty", when they are applied to victims and fighters of injustice.
 
Alan Turing did not do any crime, and he did not need any 'pardon'. The British government did a gross injustice to him in 1952 by castrating him. The British government and their royalty are the ones that needed pardoning by him (his departed soul or his family), not the other way around. Obviously, the British have not yet gotten civilized enough to seek an unconditional pardon from him, and are talking the nonsense of pardoning him instead.
