HC Deb 30 January 1976 vol 904 cc382-3W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many representations were made by the Government to the Chilean Government and international organisations in respect of the alleged torture of Dr. Cassidy.

Mr. Rowlands

Before Dr. Cassidy's release Her Majesty's Government made numerous representations to the Chilean authorities for her release. On 30th December my right hon. Friend protested to the Chilean Government about the torture of Dr. Cassidy and he has since informed them that he regards their reply as unsatisfactory. On 19th January Dr. Cassidy gave her own evidence to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.
