(Chooi himself was repudiated in the Malaysian Parliament by

the Malaysian PM in 1991)

Finally, the Hong Kong authorities caused a further perjury to be uttered before the magistrate who committed Mr Osman to prison on remand 7 years ago when they assured him that all relevant material had been disclosed. This was a material and conscious falsehood on the part of the Hong Kong authorities, who deliberately withheld material evidence that they had at best an unsound case, and at worst, no case at all. The Hong Kong authorities were backed up in the position they adopted by the Malaysian Government, which itself told material falsehoods in various courts, in relation to material it did possess, but refused to disclose.

All the above facts are known, in full, to the High Court, which is my final reason for repudiating, condemning and ignoring the PIIC, which was obtained for the sole purpose of preventing the above facts emerging.

In normal circumstances some or all of the above might have simply been matters for any trial in Hong Kong. They are abnormal in that a chain of falsehood was practiced before the courts in the UK, in order to obtain the imprisonment of a man in the UK, which could never have been obtained in the UK if the final paragraph of the 20 Dec. cable had occurred in a UK case.
