I'm trying to recall here. Apparently they harassed his partner. At the time, Victor was not in the country. He was in South Africa when they harassed his partner. So from the harassment and the publicity of Victor, it sort of got his partner the reprieve not to be detained. They took it to the high court and he sued the government. He was awarded some amount of money, but that money has never been realized.
On November 4th, 2010. See this statement in context.
