Graham Cleghorn is
pleading with the New Zealand Government to get him a fair hearing that he
hopes will save him from the hellish conditions of his Cambodian prison cell.
Cleghorn said he had
lost more than 10kg while in jail. He is pale and has difficulty breathing
after the short walk from the cramped cell he shares with about two dozen
men, whose convictions range from stealing chickens to murder. He complained of chest
pain, numbness in his feet and said all his teeth have rotted since he began
his 20-year sentence for rape. "All
I am asking for is two things; a fair trial where my witnesses can be heard;
and for the New Zealand Government to request an independent investigation
into the Cambodian Women's Crisis Center which brought the charges against
me," Cleghorn said.
