[free-sklyarov] Dmitry's defence fund / reply from US embassy

[Anton Chterenlikht]

Dear all,

I've got two e-mails today, one from Joseph M. Burton, Dmitry's leading
lawyer and another from Marina Serebryanaya, Dmitry's immigration
adviser(?). The Dmitry's defence fund has finally been opened. The
information is in the bottom of this message. Maybe we can put in on our
web site.

Also I received a letter today from Glyn T. Davies, Minister, Deputy
Chief of Mission, the US Embassy in London. The date on
it says 14 August. This is a reply to my letter from 27 July:
http://www.xenoclast.org/free-sklyarov-uk/2001-July/000019.html

I was very surprised, I never thought the Embassy will answer. It is a
very good letter, although they managed to spell Dmitry's surname
wrongly in one place which probably means that they don't really care
that much. But the letter is personal, it seems that someone was really
writing it for me and it signed by Mr Davies in real ink. He is
confident in fair completion of the legal process. He says that the
situation has received a lot of attention in the US and abroad, that
there are a lot of complicated issues involved, he agreed that the
scientific co-operation between the US and the UK is very important etc. 

This response means that the letter writing does have an effect. It also
shows that the Embassy is well informed about the case now.

I therefore think that we should continue the letter writing campaign.
The situation has changed since Dmitry was released on bail, but the
problem remains.

Please let me know if someone else will get a response from any
authority.
