Glitter up for early release from Vietnam jail

Disgraced rocker Gary Glitter, convicted of molesting two Vietnamese girls, may be released early from his three-year jail sentence, a prison chief said today.

Glitter, 62, is on a list of inmates being considered for early release as part of next month’s Lunar New Year celebrations, said Tran Huu Thong, director of the Thu Duc detention centre, where Glitter is being held.
