Rt Hon Sir Robert Fellowes KCB KCVO
Buckingham Palace
I enclose a petition to Her Majesty The Queen forwarded to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office by the Hong Kong Government EARLIER THIS MONTH.
The petition is made by a Chinese citizen,
Mrs Li Yue-Xiai, on behalf of her son, Mok Kwong-Yuen. Mok has spent the past six years in a Hong Kong prison for murder.
Mok was convicted of the murder of a woman during an armed robbery at her home in February 1978. Mok was found quilty on 28 September 1979. After an appeal and a subsequent re-trial, Mok was again convicted of murder on 3 April 1980. As Mok was seventeen
years old at the time of the offence, he was sentenced to be detained pending Her Majesty's pleasure. He has spent six years in prison so
far. Mok has petitioned the Governor himself for clemency five times in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988. All of these petitions were denied. Mok's case was last reviewed by the Board of Review, Long Term Prison
Sentences, on 29 June 1990 when the Board found that
there were no circumstances warranting a recommendation of an early release.
