This is the most wonderful homecoming I could ever have imagined. There hasn’t been a moment during the last five and a half years when I have not dreamt of one day being back in Britain with my family.
Simon Mann conducted himself in exemplary fashion during his trial and his incarceration in Equatorial Guinea. He has had some health problems, and was operated on. He is now in good health but the president thinks he should now be allowed to live in peace with his family.
I regret what happened in 2004. It was wrong and I’m happy that we did not succeed. I am extremely grateful not only for my pardon but the way in which I’ve been treated from the moment I arrived in Equatorial Guinea.
