Reuters report.

"Lockerbie: Unfinished Business" tells the tale of Doctor Jim Swire, whose 24-year-old daughter Flora died on the plane and who is convinced that Megrahi's conviction was a travesty of justice. The play follows his fight for "truth and justice".

Richard Ingrams comments in the Independent.

While the media pursue these red herrings, the most likely reason for Megrahi's release will go unmentioned. It is generally forgotten that, at the time of his release, he was engaged in a lengthy appeal hearing against his original conviction. Evidence showing the flimsiness of the case against him would have been produced; well-founded allegations of the bribery of witnesses and the possible planting of evidence on the crash site by the CIA would have been aired. It could all have ended with the exposure of one of the most scandalous miscarriages of justice ever acknowledged in a British court. No wonder that in the circumstances the Justice Minister, Jack Straw, was so keen to see the back of Megrahi and the discontinuation of his appeal hearing.
