To Whom It May Concern:

The Transnational Radical Party, a non-governmental organization in Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, has followed the peace process in Nagaland for some time and is fully committed to its continuation. It is in the interest of Nagas, of the Indian people and of the whole region.

In the framework of its activities related to the Nagaland peace process, TRP is pleased to send Ms. Johanna C. Boltjes to observe the trial of Mr. Muivah, Secretary General of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland, on whom, we belive, the continuation of the peace process depends.

I should be grateful if you could allow Ms. Boltjes to be accredited to follow the trial. Best regards.

Respectfully,

Olivier Dupuis

Secretary General
