If our guests write to the committee's clerk, their information on the nine cases will be distributed.
I will follow up on our meetings with the ambassadors. The committee meets them on a weekly basis. Last Friday, we met the Pakistani ambassador regarding the issue of US drones being used in Pakistan. Yesterday, the secretary general of Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Co-operation met the committee to update us on Moroccan issues. Amnesty International was represented at the court case of the 24 people tried for the murder of 11 policemen. It raised some concerns about the trial. Is there an update on that matter?
