lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank Mr Zimeray who travelled to Vientiane as soon as we had the opportunity to contact him, which was 10 days after we were imprisoned. He immediately offered to act in our defence, and informed us of the diplomatic steps that you had promptly taken. He also told us what many of our fellow Members had done to help us, particularly Mr Brok and our colleagues and friends in the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, and many other Members as well. Madam President, I would like to give my sincere thanks to you and all the Members, such as Ignacio Salafranca, Jules Maaten and many others. I think that we should pursue this initiative and I see that this issue is also on the agenda of this session. The situation in Laos is tragic. I would like to reiterate to all my fellow Members that we were in Laos to fight the cause of five lost prisoners, known as the but there are hundreds of other prisoners and the prison conditions in Laos are terrible. These people do not even have the right to a fair trial, they are passing their final days in oblivion without even being able to see their family. Unfortunately, this situation is nothing out of the ordinary. Corruption is endemic in Laos. I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together in order to change this situation as quickly as possible."@en1
