11 February - US Embassy & Attorney General Meetings

Mike met this morning with the Economic and Political Affairs officer at the US Embassy in Managua. He offered to write a letter to the Attorney General of Nicaragua, saying that the Embassy was aware and following our case. He also said the Ambassador has a meeting with the Attorney General scheduled for Friday, and he would look and see if they can add this issue as a talking point to that meeting's agenda.

Mike and Cesar then met with the Attorney General of Nicaragua, Hernan Estrada, who was very receptive to hearing our case. He called in the chief attorney for civil cases, saying that he would be our contact person to follow-up on things. They will talk to our lawyers and discuss legal options with them.
