Regarding Ronnie Biggs, I don't feel so strongly about him because he wasn't directly responsible for killing anyone. But I believe I saw press photos of him looking remarkably better within 24 hours of his release. The canny old goat.

The whole affair was political. First they blamed Syria, who seemed to be our number one enemy at the time. Then they changed their mind and said it was Libya. I was never entirely convinced they had the right man rather than a scapegoat. Neither was Jim Swire, I notice, a leading campaigner and father of one of the victims. If he can manage compassion, perhaps you can. The man is dying of cancer.

No he shouldn't
If this is part of a deal with Lybia it should be done in the open in the way the IRA one was.
If there is new evidence that he was not responsible (or acting under orders) that should be done in the open.
In the lack of such evidence we should continue to treat him as guilty - he has only served a relatively short sentence, if it's impractical to keep him in a standard prison whilst so ill there are a number of solutions such as an open prison.
