Former Olympic Runner Oscar Pistorius Granted Parole


Oscar Pistorius

Former Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius was granted parole Friday, 10 years after shooting his girlfriend through a toilet door at his home in South Africa.


Singabakho Nxumalo correctional services department confirmed that Pistorius would be released from prison on January the 5th next year. Nxumalo said however that the Pistorius parole will come with conditions.


He must attend a program to deal with his anger issues and not leave the area of Pretoria where he is set to live without permission from authorities.


“Parole does not mean the end of the sentence. It is still part of the sentence. It only means the inmate will complete the sentence outside a correctional facility,” Nxumalo said.
