> Tracy Housel is a British national on Death Row in Georgia State
> Penitentiary. 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.
