FPSS has been advised by Dee Hogle [mother of Randy James Sachs] that the Canadian Consulate has confirmed the following;

As a result of repeated requests made by the Canadian Consulate, and with the provision of costs provided by Randy's family, Randy was transferred to a local Vietnamese hospital approximately 45 minutes from prison for treatment. His mouth was x rayed and examined by a local dentist who indicated that Randy will require 5 bridges/implants and 4 root canals. The cost will be approximately 1,000. USD or Cdn. 1,200.

Randy has requested the Canadian Consulate ask his family to raise these funds so that he can have work done asap. He was required to use 200 Canadian dollars to secure the examination and transportation costs from the prison to the hospital.

Randy is still waiting to have his kidney's examined. The Canadian Consulate will continue to pursue this treatment on his behalf.

Currently, there has not been any further advice from the Canadian Government on Randy's request to be repatriated to Canada. FPSS and the family will continue to make representations to the appropriate Government officials.
