Stuart Syvret released from prison

For those that follow this issue. Stuart Syvret who as health minister in Jersey blew the whistle on maltreatment of children has been released from prison again. He was imprisoned for what he said. Yes I know it was contempt of court, but at the end of the day the offence was one of speech. Specifically speech criticising the failure of the authorities in Jersey to prosecute certain individuals. There is a blog posting about this with a short interview with him here

While no one should be imprisoned for what they say, all this seems to have done is draw more attention to the reasons behind Stuarts drive in exposing the key issues,

its not a fair system more so in Jersey, I do applaud Stuart wholeheartedly and do hope that one day he achieves what he is pursuing despite the pit falls and set backs he faces
