      Justice minister's refusal was found illegal/unfounded and everybody got angry about the hiding of inconvenient truth – i.e. corruption. 6/6

      So, in other words, Justice Minister, PM & PM's father secretly pardoned friend who raped stepdaughter "almost daily for 12 years."

      Not even close. Rapist already served his prison sentence. 5+ years passed. No pardoning happened.

      With respect, I think you read the word "pardon" too narrowly. "Restoring honor" is a post-penalty pardon (as with posthumous pardon).

      Right, I tried to give fair explanation of events, based on terms that happen to be defined in my native language. Feel free to ignore.

      No offense taken, I was just surprised to see disagreement on word choice characterized as "badly misinformed." I read the reporting.

          I think we can both agree it's hard to convey the complexity of the story in one 140-character tweet.

          Your desire to make sure the case of this pedophile is understood in its full, rich complexity, if it must be mentioned, is touching.

          It's not the case of this pedophile that's being discussed here, it's about the corruption of the government. Oversimplifying isn't helpful

          Even when they read the thread that the original tweet directly cited? I think that takes too dim a view of people, but I take your point.

          Twitter's broken thread/discussion UI hides the fact that the cited Tweet holds followup tweets with details.

          Fair point. Hey @jack, can we get a little "THREAD" icon that displays when a quoted tweet has self-replies from its author? Seems feasible.

          Not wanting to ruin @AndriErlingsson's moment of viral, but parts of what he says err on the side of hyperbolic fancy/far-fetched theory.
