Oregon Doctor Freed in East Timor, But Still Can't Return Home 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
An Oregon woman wrongly jailed in East Timor has been released after
over two months behind bars. Stacey Addison, a veterinarian, was
arrested in September after sharing a taxi with a stranger who turned
out to be carrying illegal drugs. Addison was freed on Christmas Day
following an international campaign for her release. While she is now
out of prison, she still cannot leave East Timor until the Timorese
government returns her passport.
