Dear Ambassador Kenney,
As you are maybe aware due to recent
media coverage of our delegation, we are a group of women lawyers
here to investigate extra-judicial killings and the repression of
political activists in the Philippines.
We understand from your statement that
you are also concerned about these unsolved killings.
We would very much like to meet with
you to discuss our mutual concerns as Americans and formulate steps
that can be taken to ensure that these killings are appropriately
investigated.
We look forward to meeting you at your
convenience through 31 May 2006.
We can be reached at the Sulo Hotel,
Quezon City.
Sincerely,
TINA MONSHIPOUR FOSTER
