Shayler vows to fight on to clear his name

EX-MI5 agent David Shayler, who was jailed in Britain for breaching the Official Secrets Act, vowed to fight to clear his name after leaving prison on early release yesterday.

Mr Shayler, 36, was greeted by his girlfriend and brother as he left Ford open prison, near Arundel, West Sussex, yesterday after serving less than seven weeks in jail.

He was found guilty on three charges of breaching the act and sentenced to six months in jail in November.
