South Africa’s Zuma appears at prison, released under remission process

South Africa’s former president Jacob Zuma appeared at the Estcourt correctional facility on Friday morning and was released under a remission process, a senior prisons official said. According to Reuters, the announcement comes after the constitutional court last month rejected an attempt to overturn a decision by a lower court that found Zuma’s release on medical parole was unlawful and that he should return to prison to finish his sentence.
