    Yesterday, Iceland's government convened for the first time after the summer break. At midnight the next day, the government has fallen.

        TL;DR: the Justice Minister expunged the conviction of ("restoring honor", or pardoning) friend as requested by PM's father.

        The PM, conveniently, claims he didn't know until last July, then covered it up it til reporters exposed it.https://grapevine.is/news/2017/09/14/pms-father-endorsed-restored-honour-for-convicted-paedophile/ …

        I'm super happy for the gov to fall, but your interpretation is badly misinformed. Like really badly 1/

        Iceland has legal process where former felons/convicts can apply to have their "slate cleaned" 5 years after they´ve done their sentence 2/

        This is often called a pardon, even when the penalty has already been served (see: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/31/uk-issues-posthumous-pardons-thousands-gay-men-alan-turing-law …). "Expungement" wouldn't fit 140.

        What you're talking about is different. The Icelandic, er.. thing, does in no way imply he was innocent or take away the fact of the crime.

        The process is literally called "restoring honor" in every English-language article I've read by an Icelandic newspaper.

        Pardon is "náðun" in Icelandic and is a specific and different thing to restoration of honour "uppreist æru".

        I know that would be the legally accurate definition but in terms of how language is used, it is not incorrect

        We do not abort them, we simply send them off to the wildlands to fend for themselves. Such culling is most humanitarian.

        You should stick to tweeting about things you know anything about. You're good at that. This is embarrassing.

        Personal exp + years in social work I've seen little accountability for crimes against children...even less accountability for the elite.
