Letter: Touching thoughts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It is now a month since my son Stefan Kiszko died of a heart attack, just three days before Christmas. But I have been overwhelmed by the hundreds of cards and letters of sympathy that continue to arrive daily from all over Britain, and as far as continental Europe.
The letters included several from criminal solicitors who, although not involved in Stefan's case, were deeply touched by his tragedy, and condolences from police officers.
Sadly, I am not well enough to reply to them all, but I would like to thank everyone for their kind words of comfort. Although Stefan was only back at home for 18 months, his release made me the happiest woman in the world.
I would also like to thank my sister, Mrs Alfreda Tosic, for her endless support in my long battle to free Stefan after 16 years in jail for a murder he never committed.
Yours sincerely,
CHARLOTTE KISZKO
Rochdale, Lancashire
Editor's Note: Stefan Kiszko was released from jail in February 1992, after serving 16 years for the murder of schoolgirl Lesley Molseed. He was freed by the Court of Appeal after forensic evidence proved conclusively he could not have committed the murder.
