The last time this case came up I managed to find some reports which indicated pretty well why it was unlikely that this man was the bomber and how indeed he was released on condition he withdrew his appeal.
Many reason have been given for his release including our desire for oil from Libya.
However the chances that this man was innocent are very strong.

I would agree that a proper appeal would be in order but given that the man is dying, and that he is whatever time he takes to achieve it, it seems right he has been released. If a miscarriage of justice has happened he already lost several years of his life to it.
Hopefully in time truth proper will come out.
That the father of one of the victims has offered a financial aid to the convicted bomber is legally irrelevant.
