Many of the hunger strikers will be currently unfi t for long-distance fl ights. We endorse their request, and are prepared to visit them under appropriate conditions, to assist in their recovery and release, and certify when we are confi dent it is medically safe for them to fl y. If you keep your word (given over 4 years ago), and arrange release of detainees, they will need to become fi t to fl y before they can be returned to wherever you order your forces to send them.

We off er our services to visit, examine and advise them, and to assist in any way that is acceptable to all parties.
