# 26 Foreign & Commonwealth Office obstructing legitimate Freedom of Information request from David Fletcher

Phillip Hammond

Foreign Secretary

Parliamentary House of Commons

London SW1A                                                                                   

30^th  October 2014

Dear Mr Hammond

Further to my previous 12 letters regarding Mr Fletcher.

A couple of weeks ago, Sue Bennett, sent the following to Mr Fletcher regarding his Freedom of Information request:

Dear Mr Fletcher,

I regret to advise that your subject access request has not yet been completed due to the volume of material being considered under the Data Protection Act 1998.

I am sorry about this but we will need more time; I estimate that we will complete by 22 October but if I do anticipate further delay I will keep you informed.

Best wishes,

Sue

Sue Bennett | Deputy Head Customer Interaction Team | Strategy & Network

More than a week after 22^nd Oct, Mr Fletcher still does not have the documents he requested. Nor has Sue Bennett kept him informed.

Your Foreign & Commonwealth Office is going to extraordinary lengths not to answer questions, not to be transparent and accountable, to withhold information that should be readily available through FOI legislation and generally be as obstructive as possible. All this is known to you and has been for sometime now.

Mr Fletcher sent me an email from jail today. I will not attempt to correct his spelling mistakes or sometimes questionable grammar. I think you will get the idea:

James,

I would be very grateful if you could inquire in London, on my behalf of a good Barrister, who will take on my case against the fco and see justice is done. 

As you are aware i have solid proof of their perveting the course of justice, criminal acts of deceit, deliberatly destroying my valid passport and court evidence of my innocence, withholding evidence of my innocence known to them since May 2011 in the fact that a court medical report stated the alleged rape victim was a virgin,with hymen in tact, two months after the fabricated allegations of two brutal rapes had allegedly taken place. I would be grateful if you would persue this matter as you have more access than me.

Also i shall be taking legal action against the charity that is registered in London, namely CCF, that is linked to perverting the course of justice, defamation and inciting before an after the fact, acts of violence in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I am writing to the rt hon Phillip Hammond, British foreign secretary for the immediate replacement of my valid passport that was destroyed wantonly by the fco. This act they have admitted too, but not as yet supplied me with a hard copy as proof to present to the the court. I would be grateful if you could persue this matter also for the same reasons as afformentioned.

Also for your information and to persue;

Despite Sue Bennett of the fco promising under the F.O.I. act to send ALL documents the fco hold relating to myself to be passed on in hard copy, this has not happened, furthermore i keep getting excuses of the time frame being pushed back, the last promise was 20th Oct, still not here!

I have not received, again as promissed a hard copy in English and Khmer from the fco of the chain of events, dates, names of staff involved and the authority given to destroy my passport. And I still have not had an explanation why my valid passport was not returned to me as it should have been.

As you are aware, after four and half years of incarceration i am for the first time able to make my statement in court to defend myself. I have never been interviewed or asked for a statement from Cambodian police or any other organisation including Human Rights groups. I guess if i was female they would all want to listen!

I intend not only to defend myself against these fabricated allegations of rape etc, which have already proved to be lies and been known by the fco since May 2011. I intend to persue the perpetrators and instigators of these criminal acts of violence, fabrication, defamation, blatent lies, accessory before and after the fact and perverting the course of justice before and after the fact.

The judges have agreed i can call these witnesses to be cross examined;

Yang Dany (alleged victim), A.P.L.E., SISHA, Peter Hogan of Khmer440, Scott Neeson CCF, Humphrey Collins (New Zealand), Mr Blewett fco Bangkok, Ray Keen fco Bangkok, British Ambassador Cambodia.

Mediacal expert.

Medical report and record from trial in May 2011.

3 Independant witnesses to confession of non rape at filmed interview.

Film of admisson of non rape.

Witness to two attacks of violence on me instigated by Peter Hogan of Khmer440.

After my trial it is my intention to report all the criminal acts against me to the Cambodian and English police, other violations of a civil nature will also be persued throughout the courts of Cambodia and the UK.

These events will be reported to the head office of the CCF in the UK and passed on to Scotland Yard fraud squad with charges of perverting the course of justice.

I thank you James for your valuable time and your quest for truth as i, for four and half years all i have asked for is a fair, just trial and hearing.

James, owning to my incarceration it is not easy for me to communicate with the world and that is why i am asking you to help me with this.

In the interest of truth, if you can persue any or all of the above on my behalf  i would be very grateful.

If any of your readers have any direct questions for me via you, i would be more than happy to respond if i can.

Regards,

David Fletcher

I hope, Mr Hammond, that you will not ignore this letter as you have done my previous 12.

best wishes

James Ricketson
