Palfreeman trial unfair: prisoner advocate
An Australian man sentenced to 20 years' jail for murder in Bulgaria did not receive a fair trial, a prominent foreign prisoner advocate says.
Jock Palfreeman was found guilty in the Sofia City Court in Bulgaria of the murder of 20-year-old Bulgarian law student Andrei Monov and severely wounding Antoan Zahariev, 19, in a fight in Sofia on December 28, 2007.
Palfreeman pleaded not guilty, saying he came to the aid of a gypsy who was being attacked by a group of soccer fans and he acted in self-defence.

Visit Ryner Christopher
I would very much welcome a visit or letters from people throughout the world.
This would help me to maintain a positive outlook for the future. I am so lonely at
times even though I am surrounded by hundreds of prisoners. If you feel inclined
to write to me then I would be so grateful. Thank you to the Foreign Prisoner
Support service for including my name on their prison pages.

This puts the Thai Authorities in direct violation of International Law.
