      Media made freedom of information requests for the paperwork and to get names of the people who vouched for these men. 4/

      Minister of Justice refused and dragged her feet. Ppl wondered why. Turns out it was because PM's dad was one of those people. 5/

      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
