SUBJECT:
CASE OF DERRICK GREGORY
In your letter of 30 August 1988 you confirmed
that the Prime Minister would be prepared to make
a plea to the Malaysian Prime Minister and to the
Governor of Penang, requesting the commutation of
the death sentence on Derrick Gregory, should the
Penang Pardons Board uphold the sentence passed on
him. The text of the plea was agreed at that
time.
Our High Commission in Kuala Lumpur now confirm
that the Penang Pardons Board will consider
Gregory's case on 8 June. The High Commissioner
is holding the approved text of the Prime
Minister's plea for use as necessary. I enclose a
copy for ease of reference.
Enclosures flag(s)
Eight Hong Kong belongers, who have also been
convicted of drugs offences in Malaysia, may also
have their appeal considered at the same Pardons
Board meeting. I shall be writing to you
separately on that case.
