Attention: Foreign Affairs Committee

Dear Mrs. van der Kolk-Timmermans

I am writing to request a meeting with the Foreign Affairs Committee,
and to offer a briefing. 

I am the researcher on Afghanistan for Human Rights Watch. I've lived in
Afghanistan for the last two and a half years, but I'm in Europe for the
next several weeks.  Apologies for the short notice, but I could be
available to brief you on November 23rd or 24th. 

There are a range of issues that I'd be happy to brief and discuss with
you, including the elections, and the importance of the post-election
appointments. ISAF efforts to reduce civilian casualties, as well as
compensation.  The laws of war with regard to drug traffickers as
military targets. Detention practices. I'm also keen to discuss women's
rights and freedom of expression, having done considerable research in
these areas, with reports on both due to be published in December and
the New Year. I'll happily take questions on any other areas. 

Thanks for your consideration. If you require more information do not
hesitate to let me know. I can send some recent work, and a short bio. 
I'm currently in London on +447506018033

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Yours Sincerely, 

Rachel Reid
