Press release issued: 20 January 2016
From 1-6th February Dr. Naughton will take part in a professional exchange programme to build capacity of government and civil society in Armenia.
The FCO’s Human Rights and Democracy Programme (HRDP) is a dedicated annual fund to support human rights and democracy work overseas.
The thematic priorities of the HRDP are the promotion of democratic processes, the abolition of the death penalty and prevention of torture or other ill-treatment.
Through targeted projects, it aims to lift the capacity of governments and civil society to promote and protect human rights.
British Horizons, the professional exchange programme, is one such project and aims to connect experts from the UK with partner organisations in Armenia.
Dr. Naughton will partner with “Innocence Armenian Project” in Yerevan to deliver high-level professional training, exchange and public diplomacy in the domain of democracy building and human rights.

No mention of Michael O’Brien in the above article but presume his trip was also funded
“This time for “Prison Notes” I’ve interviewed Michael O’Brien, who spent eleven years in a British prison for a crime he didn’t commit. O’Brien will soon visit Armenia to speak about what happened to him and how he was finally found innocent after a long and difficult legal battle. He studied law while in prison and after being released launched a campaign to make changes to the laws on the books in Britain. What follows is the letter I wrote him and the uplifting response I received.

As far as I’m aware, to date Michael O’Brien has yet to prove he his ‘innocent’ only that his murder conviction was showed to be ‘unsafe.’
If Dr Michael Naughton has yet to join the dots in the Simon Hall case (As per his recent tweets) and is allegedly phoning level 2 registered sex offenders in the states (Casper Volk) what’s the point of the above exactly?
He states:
Finally, if it is found that an alleged innocent victim of wrongful conviction in a member case is not innocent, the case will cease to be a member of Empowering the Innocent (ETI) and any information about the case will deleted from its website
What does he think deleting material from a website will achieve?
I don’t believe Dr Michael Naughton
hasn’t joined the dots in the Simon Hall case and that it serves his purpose and personal agenda to attempt to deceive his unsuspecting audience (As it appears to me)
I don’t know if Laurence Cawley from the BBC misunderstood Dr Michael Naughton when he wrote,
“Dr Michael Naughton told how he received a letter last week from Hall's wife Stephanie telling him her husband had admitted the murder and asking him to close the case down.or whether Dr Michael Naughton misled Mr Lawrence Cawley by claiming to have received a ‘letter’ from me?
But for the record no ‘letter’ was sent by me. The fact is Neil Bellis helped me communicate with both the CCRC and Dr Naughton regarding Simon Halls guilt via an email.
