Thanks for setting this site up Weez – such a sad story.

’tis, Ben. Would like to see DFAT get up and give the family more information.

Hi weez,
It is disgusting what FPSS has done to my brother’s face. I cannot understand why. If it is because DFAT have said he doesn’t want any publicity, well that no longer is true. I sent them the email I had from Stephen via a friend in Argetina saying that he wanted it put back on the 6 th August, when they told the reason for the long sentence.

Ann, I hope the website is helpful in introducing this matter for discussion and hopefully action by DFAT. Perhaps FPSS can begin to live up to its much vaunted code of ethics, as well.

cheers

Hi Weez

Thanks for all the work you have put into the website and still are putting in. You know my feelings on FPSS. I have written to them with my grave concerns for some of the information and advice they give to families, but as usual they have not bothered to reply. I am glad I stopped working with them sooner rather than later. There seems to be a lot of self-gratification. Let’s hope Stephens website can provide some information and advice to Australian families with loved ones overseas.

Cheers
Kate

Thanks, Kate. The ego wars do little good for the prisoners or their families. I’m frankly a good bit more interested in why DFAT haven’t managed to get a proper medical report on Sutton despite three years passing.

Hi
Is there any feeling that Stephen has been used as a kind of fall guy in the AFP bust of the “sophisticated drug smuggling syndicate”? After reading the website you have made I did some searching, and found a few articls from 2003 detaling the drug bust. If it is a big crime syndicate then stephen, especially if he has some learning difficulties etc because of the tumours, grief, doesnt seem like a typical drug lord or even courier. it feels like he has been sacrificed knowingly by the AFP in theior greater game plan (bali 9 stylee). Are the other people who were arrested in Sydney in prison for similar lengths of time? also, has Stephen applied for extradition as some of the early AFP etc press releases indicated?
thanks,
jane

Hi jane, all your questions are probably best asked of Stephen’s sister, Ann Cluse. She’s available on ann@stephensutton.com but she’s had some probs with her email of late. Let me know if you can’t contact her.

Came across this site by accident after searching on more news of stephen sutton. Hope the item on ABC 7.30 report will assist in bringing this to public attention.

thankyou for everything that all the people have done for me. Stephen Sutton, i was freed 20 Nov 2008.

Most excellent news, Stephen, hope you’re home and happy. 🙂
