Sir Murray MacLehose Governor
Government House HONG KONG
Dear Sir:
February 1, 1982
I was shocked and surprised to learn than Christine Vertucci, co-director of the Asia Monitor Resource Center, has been refused a visa extension by your government.
I am familiar with Chris and the Asia Monitor group, and I cannot imagine why this action was taken.
I hope you will take steps to reconsider this action. I would hate to see Hong Kong develop the human rights reputation of Korea, the Philippines, or Taiwan.
sincerely,
Leonard M. Siegel Director
