Dear Mr Hammond

Mr Fletcher learned today from prison authorities that his next hearing at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court will occur on 27^th Nov 2014. Despite having been promised by the court that he would be provided with a lawyer, none has been provided to date.

Could you please let both Mr Fletcher and myself know when we might expect to receive a letter from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office confirming that the British Embassy both cancelled and then destroyed Mr Fletcher’s passport and did not make photocopies of the pages relevant to his movement in March 2009.

Could you please also let us know if the British Embassy in Cambodia will be offering Mr Fletcher any assistance at all as he prepares for the 27^th. Nov hearing? And will the Embassy have a representative present during the hearing?

best wishes

James Ricketson
