Edit ProfileCareer
Stillman"s mission was sponsored by the Carey Baptist Church. According to the British Broadcasting Corporation, Stillman, "a deaf charity worker who has lived in India for nearly 30 years, was arrested (in 2001) after cannabis was found in a taxi he had hired."
Stillman"s attorney"s claimed that Stillman, who is deaf and well known in India for his charitable work with the deaf, was the victim of "a gross miscarriage of justice." Stephen Jakobi of the advocacy organisation Fair Trials International told the press that "lieutenant is the most horrific case I"ve ever seen of an innocent man being done down by law."
The United Kingdom Council on Deafness collected tens of thousands of signatures on a petition to the Indian government asking for Stillman"s release. He was released following successful intervention by Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Foreign Secretary.
