Dear Governor Savage, Your Excellency:
Re: Reported Human Rights Violation(s) in the British Virgin Islands
Thank you very much for your kind and extremely informative letter of earlier
today.
It is apparent from your reply that either the facts of this matter have
been grossly misreported or the reported firing of a Mr. Purnell Christian
(possibly a pseudonym) took place (likely informally) in such a fashion
that legally prescribed avenues were circumvented and the appropriate officers
of the government - including Your Excellency - were not drawn into the
process.
I will take immediate steps to have what are now serious questions resolved
and will promptly inform you, Governor, of the result of my efforts.
Thank you once again for your kind reply and prompt attention.
Sincerely and respectfully,
William A.M. Courson (FLLA)
