Best wishes, Martin ___________________________________________ Translated by M. Rejzek from Czech original: Dear Colleagues, Many thanks for the great support you have organised in a way that I can not determine right now. I would like to just correct one fact. There is no need to look for reasons and excuses why we collected in the National Park as we have NEVER ENTERED IT. The whole case is likely be solved very quickly as soon as we get a chance to explain this fact at a court hearing. Unfortunately, the whole Darjeeling administration including the judges is currently on strike. I would like to ask you to forward this information to all who supported us as we are currently not able to do so.
