Stephen John Sutton (born 1964) is a man who was imprisoned in Argentina.
He was charged with narcotics offences[2] and was sentenced in 2005 to 11 years in jail for drug trafficking.
Sutton and his family members maintain his innocence, as he claims that he was asked to courier "a quantity of gold" from Peru to Argentina.
The Sutton family is campaigning for his early release and improved support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), who they maintain have provided inadequate health care[4] and legal advice to Sutton and insufficient information to the family.
They have also criticised the Australian Government for not making attempts to have him returned to Australia, comparing his case to that of Schapelle Corby.
