YOUR TELNO 003: CANCELLATION OF LESOTHO PASSPORTS

1. HONORARY CONSUL SHOULD NOT HAVE ISSUED ANY PASSPORTS OR VISAS HERSELF (ALTHOUGH MFA CANNOT BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN ABOUT THIS). SHE WOULD HAVE PASSED ON PASSPORTS ISSUED IN MASERU. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MEANS OF DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN PASSPORTS ISSUED UNDER THE DUBIOUS INVESTMENT SCHEME AND NORMAL ONES. MFA WILL PRODUCE A LIST - IT WILL BE SHORT OF ETHNIC CHINESE WHO ARE GENUINE HOLDERS OF LESOTHO PASSPORTS. THOSE WHO ARE NOT ETHNIC CHINESE HOLDING LESOTHO PASSPORTS ARE NOT LIKELY SUSPECTS.
