"The deputy prosecutor told us he agreed our submission should be treated as an urgent matter, given that President Mugabe may leave Paris after the Franco-African summit ends, and he gave us his assurance that it would be treated seriously. He felt it was serious and solid submission," said Mr. Tatchell.
