I just got word about this guy. Ali Khan is a dude from Pakistan who’s been in prison for a few years. According to the accounts on the blog Free Ali Khan, he was falsely accused of murder, given biased translators (friends of the victim), and tortured into confession. It was covered in the Gwangju News a while back
Brian in Jeollanamdo has more about his situation, the Free Ali Khan blog doesn’t have too many posts: you could read the whole thing in about twenty minutes, but next month there’s a bike ride to raise awareness, and meanwhile, the latest report is that the guy’s really depressed and low, and would really benefit from regular visits. So if you live in the Daejeon area, and want to make life a little better for a guy in a rough spot, you should think about visiting, or giving a little to help him get a retrial with better representation than he had the first time around.
