It may even be that the technical process of the law is, in this
case, preventing the High Court from examining the situation in
its totality. The totality, from the prosecution side, is resonably
well presented, in the five key items that I have given you.
I would also point out that there is no complimentary weight of
evidence, excluding that which has been undermined by having been
collected by the jailed DDPP, or which is based on the disgraced
witness, or which is vitiated because the Malaysian Government
has lost the source documents, against Mr Osman.
The case against him actually depends on the evidence collected
by the jailed DDPP, the disgraced witness, and the 'lost' documents.
I will also raise a further point with you, in your political capacity.
Over 50 Members of three different Parliaments have written to
you, Ministers and the Governor of Hong Kong, requesting information
on the status of the ex DDPP. (Jail) Neither you nor anyone else
have answered the question. Indeed, the Governor has gone so far
as to tell two party leaders in the European Parliament, that the
public trial,conviction and jailing of Reid, is sub judice.
Given the rest of the irregularities in the case, this goes beyond
the use of public discretion, and enters the realm of public deceit.
Given the volume of enquiries involved, so do the refusals by Ministers.
I have already supplied you with the evidence for the prima facie
laying of information that I have made with you.
The overall interests of justice are being ill served by procedure.
The intervention of those with more general responsibilities is
now most urgent, to prevent a further intensification of the crisis
in a case that is now notorious, and a real public scandal.
In the interests of justice I now intend to publish the FCO cables.
