My life in a Cambodian hell: accused 'spy' Ricketson pleads for help
The horror! Men bathing and go to the bathroom before bed! Make it stop!
I understand the conditions must be rough, but that's a funny way to describe "the horror".
Damn, Corcoran doesn't hold back:1984 wrote:And don't make the mistake of thinking your embassy will give a shit. "Your problem" is the short version of Australian ambassador to Cambodia, Angela Corcoran's letter to Ricketson: https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/ambas ... 4z31j.html
Corcoran delivers a bland reminder to Ricketson in the letter, dated February 16, that "prison conditions and management vary from country to country and prison to prison" and that local laws and penalties apply overseas.
She states that Ricketson has received the same level of consular assistance as other Australians jailed overseas and "you should have realistic expectations about the extent and type of assistance that DFAT can provide".
