[PEN-L:1635] Re: treatment of James Craven

[Ajit Sinha <ecas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think these letters to Hasart is going to have any impact, that's
why I'm not writing a second letter. I think the case should be taken up by
civil liberties union or some such national level organization, and it
should be written about in newspapers and magazines. I have a case too, in
some sense more serious than Jim's. Someday I intend to write an article
intitled, "My experience of an Australian University". Cheers, ajit sinha
