lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I rise to request that you write to the Indian authorities again about the case of Ian Stillman, the British deaf charity worker who was imprisoned in India, convicted of drug smuggling. As you are aware, he was not provided with sign language interpretation at his trial. I am grateful that you wrote in the past, but last week his leave to appeal to the Supreme Court was turned down. The lead judge remarked that disabled people and deaf people are prone to carry drugs, which I thought was absolutely disgraceful. I would be grateful if you could write again, and also use your good offices in relation to the plane spotters. The issue here is one of the government and the judiciary, but of the government and the security services."@en1
