The announcements came today as Mrs Shields travelled to London with a group of other wives to meet Riverside MP Louise Ellman.
They were later due to present a petition at 10 Downing Street to Sarah Brown, the PM’s wife calling for the 22-year-old’s release by the British prison authorities after being returned to this country by the Bulgarians in November 2006.
She said this was in advance of a judicial review being held on December 4 brought after campaigners legally challenged Justice Minister Jack Straw’s claim that he had no jurisdiction to consider either a pardon or an early release, insisting it was still down to the Bulgarian authorities.
"There is an admission of guilt from another man and a dossier of vital statements from witnesses none of which has yet been hear in open court," said Mrs Ellman who would not speculate on the review’s findings except to add: "We have got try everything that’s possible and leave no stone unturned regardless of what the outcome is."
