Bring_Tim Victor Home_ Fund

DEVASTATED. SHOCKED
On 1 March 2016, Timothy John Victor, my husband was sentenced to 7 years in Prison for carrying a 'training prop' in his check-in luggage. He is in Nairobi, KENYA.

Tim works as a Close Protection Officer (CPO) Trainer and was invited to Kenya to discuss CPO and other self-defense training programs with a Kenyan Consultant. In his check-in luggage he carried with him a molded plastic firearm, which is used for demonstration purposes. He travelled from South Africa to Nairobi with a molded training prop'. On his return to South Africa he was detained for 3 days, arrested and charged with a 7 years + 1 criminal sentences, to be carried out in a Kenyan Prison without being given legal representation.

"The plea of guilty was obtained through deliberate deception in that Timothy was, while under arrest and without the benefit of proper legal advice, induced by the arresting officers to admit to the offences by deliberately misrepresenting to him that the being in possession of a toy pistol was a misdemeanor for which he will be liable only to a fine and thereafter be free to travel to his home country".

Funds go toward the legal costs, recouping costs lost through 'fees' paid while he was detained, and to bring him home. This is a very costly experience. All funds are for Tim to return to South Africa. Let's just get Tim home! ASAP!!
