Re your post above cottonweaver, going by what I have read the likely chain of events is that the parole board (not sure of exact name but you will know what I mean) were hasty in arranging for his early release under house arrest conditions before the minimum time when they could do so. That is, they shouldn`t have even been considering it until now, when he had served a sixth of his sentence. The women`s group petition had the unforeseen effect of bringing the parole board`s error to the attention of the justice minister, who then delayed his release because it shouldn`t have even been considered until now. Could be wrong but that all seems to make sense.
What would be interesting to know IMO is if these `errors` on the part of the parole board are systematic but overlooked in other cases because there is no scrutiny of them, or if this was an example of preferential treatment for OP, and if the latter, where did the pressure to do this come from. From inside the prison system or from outside interests.
