The first person to meet Gerry on his release was the High Commissioner representative and he heard Gerry's story first. He says he believes everything Gerry told him. There is no'question of any of us getting at him. The police are making a lot of fuss about a breakfast Gerry was given at a hotel. He was given it four hours after he had been forced to sign the statement but the police are using it to show he was well treated...When the prosecuting counsel got up in court and said Gerry has been taken in on an immigration technicality eeethe magistrate says "Thank you Mr. Miller for telling us this". The head of all the police is a Nigerian, Edet, but the operational head is Lynn, described by Urwin as a sensible British policeman. He is wnscrupulous and unpleasant, Gerry was not examined by a doctor..e.eA High Commission --person saw the bruises, so dig3 lawyers. I shall get on to the High Commission here, but can you try to get a statement from the CRO about its attitude to the Nigerian Gowt's treatment of Gerry and about what has been done in protesting? ‘The High Commission is trying to get me a flat but are finding it very difficult. The lowest rent so far is £25 a week, but that is not the obstacle. No one wants to rent to me «»By the way if I do get a flat I shall have to revise my expenditure estimates"
