Imprisoned Cork man to be home for ChristmasA CORK man who was incarcerated in Greece on suspicion of human trafficking and espionage has been released on bail after an agonising 106 days in jail. Seán Binder, from Doughcloyne in Togher, was incarcerated more than three months ago and it was feared he would spend up to 18 months in the Chios Island prison before going on trial. Seán’s mother, Fanny, said she is elated by his release and hopes her son can have a proper family Christmas. Amnesty International said the case of Seán Binder and three other NGOs was another example of authorities misusing anti-smuggling laws. Supporters of the Cork aid volunteer staged demonstrations across the country calling for his release.
