Notes and topics

Pentreath writes on behalf of Albert Lodge, General Secretary of the British section of Amnesty International. Pentreath asks BR if he could intervene in the case of Helma Hinz, an East German who wishes to join her fiancée in West Germany.

Enclosed are two letters pertaining to Hinz:

Document .178367, TLS. The letter is addressed to Penreath from Hans J. Baer, who is Hinz's fiancée.
Document .178368, TLS. The letter is addressed to Penreath from Albert Lodge. Lodge asks Penreath to see if BR can intervene in the Hinz case as "Amnesty cannot tackle cases of re-uniting fiancées or family unless one is actually in prison."
