One year after a court granted him parole, Australian Jock Palfreeman remains stuck in Bulgaria where he can't live a normal life and fears what could come next.
The chief prosecutor's appeal of Palfreeman's parole was dismissed earlier this year but the Sydney man is still fighting to be able to leave the country, with his case expected back in court later this month."He's not allowed to live like a normal human being would be in Bulgaria," Dr Simon Palfreeman told SBS News.
Palfreeman had spent nearly 12 years behind bars in the Balkan nation's capital when he was released on parole last September. Palfreeman's father said the ongoing legal struggles following the parole decision had left them"very, very frustrated and fearful"."It’s been an absolute rollercoaster of a trip from planning to have him come home last September, and to still be struggling with the legal system in Bulgaria all this time later," Dr Palfreeman told SBS News.
