Angry In Prison in St Lucia

Eric Sommer, worldwide cruiser, was sued for murder and put to jail in May 2012 after he repelled an attack on his boat in St Lucia (lesser Antilles).
Although he daily claims for innocence, he got no judgement nor any foreseeable procedure.
His family, cruisers, in connection with the French embassy in St Lucia, urge to help Sommer in his fight for an equitable treatment.
This could happen to any visiting boat in this country.
St Lucia is very depending on tourism, especially cruising visitors, and the final destination of the ARC Rally, one of the prominent boat cruises in the world.
All actions are welcome, to let St Lucia authorities know that Sommer is not alone and that all individual cruisers are concerned.
Thank you for him.
