SIGN THE PETITION AND HELP FREE MICHAEL
SHIELDS
 As
you may of heard, an innocent man was jailed in Bulgaria for a crime
he didn't commit. Michael Shields, 18, was convicted of attempted
murder and originally sentenced to 15 years, even though someone else
confessed to the crime. His sentence has since been cut by five years
but the Bulgarian authorities have refused Michael a retrial.
Michael was returning to Liverpool via Bulgaria after attending
the European cup Final in Istanbul. The court in Varna refused to
accept Graham Sankey's statement that he slammed a paving stone
onto waiter Martin Georgiev's head at the resort of Golden Sands
in May 2005.
A petition has been set up calling on the Bulgarian authorities to
release Michael. You can sign this at
