Comments:

Appeal dismissed on grounds that the applicant’s actions as a member of a group that burned passenger buses and cars, threw stones, and disrupted the economic activity of merchants in the market, while pretending to be from the opposition party in order to discredit such party, reached the level of serious criminal conduct which outweighed its political nature and therefore constituted a serious nonpolitical crime.
