We have received confirmation from the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) that the PTA(Prison Transfer Agreement) has been signed by Steven. In fact, it was signed by Steven about a year ago in the hope that once all his court appearances are complete the process can be started immediately. It seems this has worked very well.
The only thinkg that is holding the process up at the moment is the official ruling from the court. There is no doubt what the court has decided, its just that the paperwork on the Nicaraguan side needs to be issued so it is official that Stevens sentence has now been agreed and is final.
We are trying to ascertain if there is anything we can do witht he Ministry of Justice to expedite the process, however, with it being a Nicaraguan thing it is likley that we will just have to wait until they issue the paperwork.
