What consitutes 'compassionate grounds?'
The British authorities released the Great Train Robber, Ronnie Biggs, last week because he has only months to live. They took the same view with the gangland boss Reggie Kray.
Then again, American authorities have denied 17 appeals for release by Susan Atkins, who murdered Sharon Tate, and who is now paralysed by terminal brain cancer.
On tonight's show, we will explore what makes the case for "compassionate grounds," and we'll feature some of your comments on the show.

Myanmar Verdict
Was it a surprise that authorities in Myanmar decided to renew Aung San Suu Kyi’s house arrest? No. Nor was it a surprise that the terms of her extended sentence prevent her from playing an active role in next year’s election.

So, are we seeing a softening of their stance – a sign from the government that they are susceptible to international pressure and pressure from those inside Myanmar who support the democratic opposition?
The case of Nobel Peace Prize laureate has attracted the predictable reaction from European leaders who were quick to criticize the verdict. No such chorus of condemnation from the likes of China, India and Thailand, Myanmar’s neighbours, main trading partners and the countries with most leverage.
