Came across a group on Facebook for this guy. Anyone else heard about this story?
http://free-ali.blogspot.com/2006/09/letter-of-introduction-by-alis-brother.html
""My name is Feroz Khan and my little brother has been rotting in Korea's worst penitentiary since 2003 for a crime he is not even remotely connected to. My brother, Ali Khan, is a kind, generous and morally upstanding human being who has only brought joy and happiness to anyone fortunate enough to know him.
Yet in February of 2003, Ali was falsely implicated in a brutal murder in a suburb of Seoul. The killer told police that Ali was an accomplice so that his real accomplice could gain time to flee the country. But unfortunately a brutal and incompetent police department combined with a series of other procedural errors resulted in the rapid conviction of my innocent brother. Ali was sentenced to death, but the sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment.
This all occurred in spite of numerous eyewitnesses who corroborated Ali�s original statement that he was nowhere near the scene of the crime at the time. Since then we have also obtained a full confession from the co-accused confessing that Ali was not involved and why he lied about Ali�s involvement." |

I read over some of the site. If true, that is so sad. I hope that Mr. Khan finds justice for his case. |

If this is true, the only way that any justice will happen is if the guy gets his government to lean on Korea. Only thing they'll react to is looking bad on the international stage. It's their kryptonite. |

The guys is essentially just saying "I didn't do it" without any real alibi. Of course you get a few people ready to back up your story when you do something like that. It's just plain common sense.
As if that would work in the States.
"I didn't do it man! SERIOUSLY!"
"Oh...ok then, you're free to go".

Yes Chicken your wife being old bill means all is good. I've had my experience with the law here and if what happend to me here back home then the knob jockey would have been doing some serious bird. The police here are incompetent to say the least. That's a fact and they are no different to other corrupt forces in Asia. The west is no bag of roses but in comparsion chalk and cheese springs to mind. |
