He faces execution in the next month, as his final appeal is > currently pending in the United States Supreme Court. The British Foreign > and Commonwealth Office has expressed its intention to act on Mr. Housel's > behalf and support a grant of clemency by the State of Georgia. Such > intervention by the British Government is unprecedented. Other governments, > including that of Mexico (through its President, Vicente Fox), Canada, > Germany, and others, have sought similar relief for their nationals in > prisons and on Death Rows in the USA. The British Government, however, have > never done so to date. > · More information and background material regarding Mr. Housel and his case > can be found at: http://www.tracyhousel.org. > > Best wishes, > > Amy Greene
