PORT LOUIS TELNO 49: ILLEGAL BETTING SYNDICATE
1.
WE WOULD BE VERY RELUCTANT TO AGREE TO JUGNAUTH'S REQUEST
TO DO THAT YOU SHOULD TAKE YANG'S DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT FROM HIM. SO WOULD BE INCONSISTENT WITH OUR GENERAL OPPOSITION TO THE SEIZURE OF BRITISH TRAVEL DOCUMENTS BY NON-BRITISH AUTHORITIES. SINCE MAURITIUS HAS AN HONORARY CONSUL IN HONG KONG THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE THE MAURITIAN'S OBJECTIVE WOULD SEEM TO BE FOR HIM TO WITHDRAW THE PASSPORT.
SUGGEST THIS TO JUGNAUTH.

GRATEFUL IF PORT LOUIS WOULD
GRATEFUL IF HONG KONG COULD INDICATE WHETHER THE HONORARY CONSUL APPEARS TO EXERCISE PASSPORT AND PROTECTION FUNCTIONS.
