Scientist and Hooligan

Full story: Wired News

It's interesting that the local strongmen have thrown so much mud at this guy. If he was a 53-year-old biologist who really WAS a dope-smuggling, arms-smuggling hooligan who beat up strangers in the street at random, that would be super-interesting. Right now he's just another jailed martyr whose friends and relatives have been chased offshore.
