"Mr President, there is something to which I should like to draw your attention. On 10 July 2003, Sibel Yalvac, a 21-year old, mentally-retarded woman from Rotterdam was arrested at the airport of the Indonesian capital of Djakarta. On 6 April 2004, she was sentenced there to 10 years’ imprisonment for smuggling drugs. Two independent Dutch experts, a psychologist and a probation officer, have examined Sibel and declared her to be not fully
. She has difficulty distinguishing between cause and effect, is gullible, has a great deal of fantasy and cannot count to 12. Sibel has been exploited by ruthless criminals for their drugs trade and now faces years of hell.
It so happens that in Indonesia, each year around Independence Day, which falls on 17 August, there is a possibility of gaining amnesty. Together with my fellow countryman, Mr van Bommel, who is a member of the Dutch Lower House, I have started a campaign to ask the Indonesian Government to be lenient and, given her special circumstances, to grant Sibel amnesty. On behalf of Sibel and her desperate family, the ‘Help Sibel’ campaign is asking for your support in this matter."@en1
