Should he be released or should he stay in prision ?

Your Views

[gbbird]

Absolutely not.

[10 Pence Short]

It depends on how ill he is and how long he has to live.

[GingerWizard]

No, and I hope it hurts.....

Did he show compasion to those on the Lockerbie flight? No... no way should he be freed.

Never in a million years. In fact, I hope he dies in his cell with no medical attention. He didn't give a st about those plane passengers so why the fk should we show him compassion?

[Slate99]

Quite simply no!

Debate on the whole thing.

[bridgdav]

No Way...

A statistic on the news this morning..

He's been inside a total of '2 Weeks for every person that he killed on Pan-Am 103'.

[Spiritual_Beggar]

How certain are they that he did it?

Was it 'definately' him? Because if it was....then NO, he should not be released!

That's the difference between 'us' and 'them'. If you extrapolate your point of view we'd still be hanging murderers and chopping thieves' hands off. In my opinion the compromises for that type of justice outweigh the benefits, and as a nation we've moved on.

Yes, he certainly should be freed - at 40,000 feet without oxygen or a parachute just like the poor folk he murdered

Why does it? Whats the difference between spending your last few days on a Prison Hospital bed drugged up to the eye balls than to a bed on the outside?.

Prison rules (PSO6000)...

Prison Rules said:

1.
“12.4.1 Early release may be considered where a prisoner is suffering from a terminal illness and death is likely to occur soon. There are no set time limits, but three months may be considered to be an appropriate period. It is therefore essential to try to obtain a clear medical opinion on the likely life expectancy. The Secretary of State will also need to be satisfied that the risk of re-offending is past and that there are adequate arrangements for the prisoner's care and treatment outside prison.

12.4.2 Early release may also be considered where the prisoner is bedridden or severely incapacitated. This might include those confined to wheelchairs, paralysed or severe stroke victims. Applications may also be considered if further imprisonment would endanger the prisoner's life or reduce his or her life expectancy. Conditions which are self-induced, for example following a hunger strike, would not normally qualify a prisoner for release.”

shame he can't be treated really.
Death is the easy way out.

I don't give a toss - but there seems to be quite some doubt that he had anything whatsoever to do with it.

Yes, but that is what makes us vulnerable. These types know we are 'soft' and help themselves.

This is just what i was thinking.

[sleep envy]

welease the wascle, then stick him on a plane back to Libya and when they're over the Med chuck him out without a parachute

[jshell]

I simply don't believe he did it. And, some of the families seriously doubt that he did it either.

It was a political manoeuvre to get Libya back in tow with the West. That and the 'reparations' paid to victims families.

Even the Yanks have said at one time that Iran did it, not Libya.

Was he not jailed on the strength of him buying clothes in malta to put in the suitcase (along with the bomb)?
