Your Excellency:
Topic: Justice for Pierre Wassef
I wish to draw your attention to the case of Pierre Wassef a 30 year old British citizen who was born and raised in London, and is currently serving a 25 year sentence in Egypt for a crime he did not commit.
Pierre was arrested in Egypt in October 2007. Pierre has reported that he and his younger brother, who was arrested with him, were mistreated, threatened, and denied food and water during their two-day interrogation.
Furthermore, Pierre was denied the presumption of innocence: 4 days after the arrest, Egyptian authorities allowed news cameras to film Pierre at the prison and to proclaim him a drug trafficker, before he had even seen a judge.
Despite the fact that he was in custody during his trial, he was not brought to court by the police. Pierre was tried, convicted and sentenced to a 25-year term in his absence. Pierre appealed against his conviction and sentence and was granted a retrial, but his sentence was of 25 years in prison and a fine of LE 500,000. Pierre intends to appeal this conviction. After two and a half years in a Cairo prison, Pierre has been moved repeatedly and is currently being held in a prison in Alexandria.
I would urge you to intervene in Pierre's case and finally allow justice.
