Social network sites calls for boycott

Social networking sites were alive with backlash following the not guilty verdict in the Michaela McAreavy trial.

A Facebook group called Boycott Mauritius was set up on Thursday and has almost 5,000 members.

The group calls on members to show your disgust at the actions of the island of Mauritus and to boycott the island.

The comments included:Shame on the Mauritius Supreme Court. Shame on the Defense counsel. Avoid this country at all costs. There is no justice in this country.

Another contributor said: People may feel angry, emotional and dismayed but we could boycott every country in the world for its failings in the judicial/legal system. Certainly the pressure should be put on the Mauritius government to sort its own procedures out.

Several group members urged people to boycott the holiday island and slammed the decision of the Mauritius judicial system, while others paid wishes to the McAreavy and Harte families.
