Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Malloch-Brown (Labour) on Wednesday, 15 July 2009.
Samantha Orobator
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government why Samantha Orobator has not been repatriated from Laos to the United Kingdom, as Mr Bill Rammell, the then Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, informed the All-Party Group of the Abolition of the Death Penalty that she would be by the middle of June.
- Answer
-
My Lords, we hope that Ms Orobator will be able to transfer to the UK before the birth of her child. We have proposed to the Lao authorities a memorandum of understanding to enable the transfer before the UK/Lao prisoner transfer agreement is formally ratified. However, it is unclear whether the Lao authorities will agree the transfer prior to payment of the $70,000 fine imposed on Ms Orobator in addition to her life sentence.
