		UNESCO publicly appealed Wednesday to the government of Laos for the release of former Deputy Minister for Economics and Planning Latsami Khamphoui on humanitarian grounds, citing his poor health and harsh conditions of imprisonment.
		Khamphoui has been imprisoned since 1990 for criticizing the government in a series of letters to government officials.
		The committee is calling for "his immediate release on humanitarian grounds and in view of the fact that he had already served two-thirds of his sentence," and expressed "deep concern at the alarming state of health of the alleged victim" (UNESCO release, May 29).
