I'm happy to report that Geoff was finally laid to rest on Thursday at the Anglican Church of St George in Baghdad.

I'm happy for Jim Fitton annd his family, but angry and distraught beyond words for Geoff. The Iraqis got it wrong, they shouldn't have arrested anyone, the courts have now confirmed that no crime was committed. Except the crime of refusing a seriously ill 85 year old man repatriation for medical treatment, which led to his death. I am relieved that Jim can finally go home to his family, but distraught that Geoff is still on a slab in a mortuary. The papers say that the Foreign Office worked tirelessly behind the scenes for Jim, as they should have done, yet I can't even get a proper death certificate or Geoff's possessions. He died for nothing, no explanation as to why they wouldn't let him onto the Medievac flight or why he was arrested the day before he died, no apology - nothing. Its so unfair and it just adds to our heartbreak. Will we ever get the closure we need?
