Suny writes from his death row cell and warns:.. Come to this island at your PERIL..

SUNY Wilson, facing execution, by lethal injection, has written a four-page letter to the Dover Express headlined: My Murder in the Philippines.
Mr Wilson, 47, claims he is innocent of a child rape conviction and is the victim of a corrupt judicial system after being framed by the girl's natural father.

He is appealing against the conviction and sentence, but reveals in his letter that he is haunted by fears about getting justice.

It was written in the tiny cell he shares with three other prisoners in New Bilibid prison, Muntinlupa, Manila.

Mr Wilson, whose daughter Denise, 24, of Lowther Road, Dover, is leading a campaign for his release fears for the safety of British people and others visiting the Philippines.

He starkly warns them to stay away in case they, like him, are innocently caught up in a campaign by the Filipino authorities to crack down on child abuse by foreigners.

Mr Wilson writes: "In consideration for the safety of your readers, since I doubt I will leave the country alive, I would simply say do not visit the Philippines.

"My case is the very tip of an iceberg. It is riddled with disease and the cure lies with the world media and world opinion while 900 people: wait to die here on death row.

"By order of a president who once called Filipino judges 'hoodlums in robes'." Mr Wilson, who writes to the Dover Express, following his daughter's visit to him in jail last month, says the Filipino laws on rape cases are loaded against the defendant and an open invitation to extortion.

He says there are no juries and the death sentence is handed out, as it was to him on October 10, 1998, by a lone judge.

Mr Wilson, a former Dover Grammar schoolboy who worked for the harbour board and was a taxi driver and builder, warns there is a campaign to expose foreigners as being responsible for prostitution, child abuse, white slavery and sexual related business.

Mr Wilson says most Filipinos he has come across, in Manila are good, honest, hospitable and Christian-minded people.

But, he says corruption is at the heart of official bodies in the Phillipines and local people with some foreigners peddle prostitution in liaison with corrupt officials.

Mr Wilson says he was arrested in September; 1996, without the issue of a warrant. He further claims he was charged with attempted rape, but this was amended to rape after he refused to pay one million pesos.

Prosecution witnesses were the complainant, then aged 12, her natural father, arresting police and an examining doctor.

Mr Wilson Says the doctor found no evidence of rape, no marks, redness, injuries, bruising or any signs of trauma.

He says defence witnesses were the girl's mother (Mr Wilson's common-law wife), brother, grandmother, aunts, uncles, teacher, principals plus National Bureau of Investigation medical and legal staff, the head of gynaecology at Manila Central University Hospital and others.

He says the evidence to clear him is on public record which the British Embassy has been instructed to release to any interested parties.
