Re
MY TELNO 5: MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE (DRUGS) ECUADOR
ль
1. THE ACTING FOREIGN MINISTER, MARIO ALEMAN, TELEPHONED ME ON
3 JUNE AUTHORISING ATTENDANCE BY ECUADOREAN OFFICIALS AT THE TRIAL
IN HONG KONG ON 13 JUNE.
2. THE ECUADOREANS HAVE ASKED WHAT QUESTIONS WILL THE WITNESSES HAVE TO ANSWER. CAN YOU GIVE US URGENTLY THE GIST OF THE PROSECUTION'S QUESTIONS AND CAN WE ASSURE THE ECUADOREANS THAT THEY WILL BE FULLY BRIEFED UPON ARRIVAL?
3. WE HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE CONCERNING THE EVIDENCE WHICH WE STILL THINK IS UNLIKELY TO BE RELEASED IN TIME. HOW
ESSENTIAL IS IT?
4. THERE MUST BE A REAL RISK THAT THE ECUADOREANS WILL NOT TRAVEL IF WE CANNOT ALLAY THEIR FEARS IMMEDIATELY (PARA 2), AND WE NEED URGENT ANSWERS TO THE POINTS IN MY TELNO 5.
