DR HUONG CONFIRMS ACCURACY OF DYNAMITE INDICTMENT OF SHELL: Tue 07 Feb 2006 07:40 PM EST


From:
Dr. John Huong

To:
Mr. James Ross
Senior Legal Adviser
Human Rights Watch HQ
350 Fifth Avenue, 34th floor
New York, NY 10118-3299 USA
Tel: 1-(212) 290-4700, Fax: 1-(212) 736-1300

Date: 8th February 2006.

Dear Mr. Ross,

This email is in connection with the communication which I believe you have received earlier today from Mr. Alfred Donovan from Shellnews.net.

I want to put on record the facts that I have not authorized publication of the Draft Affidavit and/or the Communication sent to Human Rights Watch.

The publication is entirely a matter for the Donovans.

I had not sanctioned the Draft Affidavit published on the Donovan website.

Having said that, I do not take issue with anything stated in the Draft Affidavit, bearing in mind that I am under threat of imprisonment and it would not be prudent for me to comment further on this matter other than to state in general terms that I support freedom of expression.

Sincerely,
Dr. John Huong

END OF DR HUONG LETTER TO HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH


COMMENT ADDED BY ALFRED DONOVAN

I note that Dr Huong has not taken issue with the accuracy of the content of his draft Affidavit. This is unsurprising since he was the author (but not the publisher).
