IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO ENTER THE FRG WITHOUT A VISA, AS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL HAVE SUGGESTED, YOHANNES IS ALSO IN
HE POSSESSION OF A VALID VISA FOR A 3 MONTH VISIT TO NORWAY. COULD TRAVEL FROM HONG KONG TO EITHER OF THESE DESTINATIONS IF HIS APPLICATIONS TO ENTER CANADA OR THE USA DO NOT SUCCEED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS.

DESPITE YOHANNES EFFORTS TO ORGANISE HIS PASSAGE DIRECT FROM PEKING, TIME IS RUNNING OUT AND IN VIEW OF THE CHINESE ULTIMATUM WE FEEL THERE IS A STRONG CHANCE THAT YOHANNES WILL BE FORCIBLY REPATRIATED TO ETHIOPIA, AT CONSIDERABLE RISK TO HIS SAFETY, IF HE STAYS BEYOND OCTOBER. WE ARE SATISFIED THAT HE DOES NOT INTEND TO STAY ON IN HONG KONG AND AMNESTY INTERNATION- I THERE- AL'S LETTER OFFERS THE ASSURANCE OF AN ONWARD PASSAGE. FORE SEEK YOUR AUTHORITY TO ISSUE YOHANNES WITH A VISA VALID FOR ONE MONTH. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR REPLY BY 290100Z.
