For those of you concerned about Kevin Quill, I'm not going to go into all the details of the history of his problems, but I do know that many of you are interested in his condition and his prospects of being sent back to the UK. I have been asked not to reveal the source of this information:

 

"The UK's Foreign Office has now advised Mr. Quill that they cannot assist him in trying to go home to the UK for medical treatment; first, because the cancer, according to Bumrungrad Hospital medical reports, has been cleared or is in remission and, second, because he has shown that he can have his condition competently treated in Bangkok at Bumrungrad Hospital and, in their opinion, better than he would be if he was being treated by the National health service in the UK.

 

"Apparently he will have to serve at least one more year at the prison in Bangkok before he can be considered for repatriation under the prisoner exchange program to serve out his sentence in the UK. Normally, repatriation would not be considered until half of his six-year sentence is complete, which would be another 2 years before the Thai system would accept the paperwork."

the cancer, according to Bumrungrad Hospital medical reports, has been cleared or is in remission

This is good news, although it is a shame he has to stay in jail. I hope, with the money from family and friends, he can buy better living conditions. I imagine it still is like hell on earth. I wish him well.

I tried to search but could not find the address given for Kevin Quill. Someone suggested that some may wish to send him a holiday card.

 

Could someone post that address?

Mr. Kevin Quill.

If you are intending writing to Kevin, you must also write your name and address on the back of the envelope (legibly) or else the mail, most certainly, will not get through.

 

Cheers,
