"Oscar Pistorius: From Olympic Glory to Parole Amid Controversy and Threats"

Oscar Pistorius, the former Paralympic champion known as "Blade Runner," is set to be released from prison on parole nearly 11 years after the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013. Pistorius, who gained fame as a double amputee competing in the Olympics, was initially convicted of culpable homicide, which was later upgraded to murder. He will remain under supervision with strict parole conditions until his sentence expires in December 2029. The release follows a meeting with Steenkamp's father as part of a restorative justice program, although her mother expresses doubts about his rehabilitation while stating she has forgiven him.
