Reason: None provided.

the defendant has an equal obligation to prove his innocence to the prosecutions obligation to demonstrate guilt in many european courts

That's simply not true. Presumption of innocence is a fundamental tenet of the laws of European countries, at least on paper.

Everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.

Article 6.2 ECHR (which let's be real, is trash)

They don't have Habeas Corpus

That's because it's a term from common law, and European countries have civil (Roman) law.

In the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law.

Article 6.1 ECHR

However, the problem is that the judges are nearly all hard-left radicals, who will twist the law as much as they can to persecute their opponents.

If you compare continental (EU) speech persecutions and those in Britain, Perfidious Albion is much the worse for it. The problems that we have clearly do not stem from not having common law rather than Roman law.
