I don’t know Ian Personally, but I know his sister. It’s easy to be cynical about these sort of stories, as anybody accused with these charges abroad will inevitably loudly proclaim their innocence. But I don’t believe that anything even resembling justice has been done here.
Please take some time to have a look at this poor man’s story (you may also wish to Google his name if you feel that the link above is biased).
My mum used to spend six weeks every summer working with him in India, with deaf children. He is by all accounts a good man, and his treatment has been appalling. Fully support the cause.
That’s shocking - I heard about him ages ago on the radio, and didn’t realise he hadn’t yet been released. I have written him a letter and will post it first thing tomorrow.
