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.
