Consideration of McKinnon medical evidence welcome – Swinson


Commenting on the Home Secretary’s agreement to an adjournment in order to consider medical evidence relating to Gary McKinnon, Jo Swinson MP said:

“It is welcome that the medical condition of Gary McKinnon is at last being taken into account.

“Labour’s determination to press ahead with extradition without fully considering Gary McKinnon’s vulnerable state was shameful.

“Hopefully we will now see him tried in a British court, rather than being subjected to the ordeal of extradition and the threat of a maximum-security US prison.”

So what are you guys doing about the linda Lewis case ?

You have been terribly silent recently and seem to have abandoned Miss Lewis and her daughter.

Medical evidence welcome you say for Mckinnon so, what about the medical evidence that Linda has in abundance to prove that she never did any wrong.

Have you any guts any longer in this matter or are you cover up merchants without conscience?

Last I heard, Linda Lewis was given the green light to pursue the council over what was apparently an unauthorised act in the United States. At the same court hearing it was suggested that Cllr Keith Davies, our group leader on the council, had a legitimate grievance against certain officers of the council.

I know that the two remain in touch with each other, but I have no information as to the courses each is pursuing. If the party is called upon to help, I'm sure it will respond positively.

Sorry, should have put my name to the last comment - Frank Little, Secretary.
