This is not a petition to say Steven should not be punished. What he did was illegal, but surely Steven and his family have already been punished enough.

Please sign this petition in support of Stevens Kings Pardon.

Thank you, friends and family of Steven

Please sign this petition in support of Stevens Kings Pardon.

Thank you, friends and family of Steven 

By signing this Petition you are showing your support on two fronts:


1)      This Petition will be presented to the Government of Thailand Showing support for Steve Willcox Royal Pardon which was submitted on January 31st 2006.

2)      This Petition will also at sometime be presented to the UK Government (current Prime Minister Gordon Brown) in the hope they will change their decision and now support my Royal Pardon Application to the Government of Thailand.


Kings Pardon (Petition for executive Clemency) Royal Pardon

Executive clemency may be a better expression. A Pardon is usually interpreted as forgiveness, amounting to removal of suggestion of Liability for fault. Thus a pardon can easily be interpreted as a signal of innocence. Executive clemency is a signal of compassion and kindness with the issue of guilt left-outstanding.

A Royal Pardon is a possibility, but is only most likely to succeed with the support of the UK Government.

If a Pardon is granted, it could mean either a reduction in sentence, which may still leave the prisoner with some time to serve before final release.

Or:

A full Pardon is granted, where the prisoner is released immediately, or as quick as the paperwork is completed.


Without the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (F.C.O.) London, UK Government or other prominent Figures, people of major influence and Clout in either Thailand or England without their support you can expect to be in for a very lengthy wait and no guarantee of a successful outcome at the end of it all.


My own Pardon to date is un-supported by any of the above with the exception of my Local MP Andrew Robathan.

If you can help with support with somebody of influence e.g. your own MP etc. please contact me here at Rye Hill Prison (address on my home page) or contact this website itself.

My Pardon was submitted on January 31st 2006: where or at what stage in the process my Pardon is at, we dont know and have been unable to find out.

My own Pardon is based on compelling compassionate circumstances concerning my immediate family, and the severity of my sentence for a relatively small amount of drugs (25 grams).

Also by a technically of Thai Law I was forced into a conviction of distribution of drugs rather than my actual crime of possession of drugs.

As of April 21st 2009 I have already served 6 years in prison.


I dont claim to be innocent; I am guilty of a crime of possession of 25 grams of drugs found in my own house for my own consumption.

Surely the term of incarceration to date, 4 years 6 months of which was spent incarcerated in a Thai Prison. Surely to date thats punishment enough?, I will let you be the Judge of that.

All I ask is Just Punishment for my Crime.

                 With thanks Steve Willcox

Not sure what to put here but I think Steve has served his time to fit the crime and should therefore be brought back home where he can be supported by his friends and family around him.

Sirs, I urge King Pardon be given to Steve Wilcox in as much as he has already endured far more prison time and suffering from the Thailand judicial/penal system than can ever justified for having committed a relatively minor drug offense.

I don't condone for one second breaking the law but the sentencing for this crime is barbaric.

Steve's conditions of imprisonment are inhumane. Prisoners are not kept under conditions befitting even animals, he should finish his sentance back in England PLEASE.

While I accept someone should be punished if they break the law (i.e the drugs) Steve's conditions of imprisonment are inhumane. Moreover, the Thai authorities have no moral or legal right to hold him in prison while their own law enforcers behave like the worst kind of vulgar criminals themselves. I will never be bringing my tourist Euros to Thailand while such a situation continues, and will publicize Steve's case among my friends and acquaintances and encourage them not to visit Thailand either. I cannot believe that the Thai government is unaware of the situation. Shame on them.
