Oscar Pistorius, the South African double-amputee Olympic runner, has been granted parole and is set to be released from prison on January 5, 2024. The announcement was made in Pretoria, South Africa. Pistorius has been serving a sentence for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, a crime that shocked the world nearly 11 years ago.

Pistorius, who shot Steenkamp multiple times through a locked bathroom door, maintained throughout his trial that he mistook her for an intruder. His initial conviction of culpable homicide was later upgraded to murder by a South African court in 2016, leading to a sentence of 13 years and five months in prison.

As part of his parole conditions, Pistorius will be monitored by officials until his sentence expires in 2029. He is also required to attend programs dealing with anger issues and violence against women, and perform community service. These measures are seen as part of the rehabilitation process for the former Paralympic champion.

The case of Oscar Pistorius has been a high-profile one, attracting global attention due to his status as a celebrated athlete. His upcoming release on parole marks a significant development in this long-running saga.
