OT: Prayers made babies eh ? |
A controversial pastor who police in Kenya want to extradite in
connection with an alleged child smuggling ring has held a news
conference in Glasgow.
UK-based evangelist Archbishop Gilbert Deya claims to help infertile
couples conceive "miracle babies".
But 20 children were later taken into care after raids by Kenyan police.

Archbishop Deya denies involvement in child trafficking and his lawyer
says his client will not receive a fair trial if he is extradited to Kenya.
Archbishop Deya claims to have made infertile women pregnant through prayer.
Police investigation
However, DNA tests showed that none of the 20 children taken into care
were biologically related to the women who had claimed to be their mothers.
More than 20 couples in Kenya have now come forward claiming their
babies were abducted from hospital at birth.
The police investigation involves suspects in Kenya, Britain, Ghana,
Nigeria and Uganda.
Archbishop Deya told BBC Radio Scotland that the baby trafficking
allegations did not make sense.
"I am a figure in the city of Nairobi. I have been a star preacher on
television.
"How can I go to the maternity hospital with my wife and steal a baby?
These are all lies," he said.
Lawyer Aamer Anwar said it was not his role to defend or deny the
allegations of child trafficking and miracle babies.
"That is a matter for the Kenyan authorities," he stressed.
Human rights
"Our sole concern is the issue of extradition and whether Mr Deya will
receive a fair trial in Kenya.
"He does not believe he will do so because of religious and political
persecution and that is a matter which the courts in this country will
decide, whether he should be extradited or not."
He said Amnesty International and other human rights organisations had
expressed concerns about the chances of receiving a fair trial in Kenya.
Mr Anwar also claimed that the case had received prejudicial publicity.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: "The Metropolitan Police Service
child abuse investigation command is currently reviewing allegations
relating to child trafficking between the UK and Kenya.
"We are liaising with the Immigration Service and the authorities in
Kenya as is normal in a case of this nature."
A spokesman for the Immigration Service said he could not comment on
individual cases but pointed out that general extradition arrangements
were in place between the UK and Kenya.
The UK took these obligations seriously, he added.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
