an icepick through the keyhole

Do you think AI's appeal has any chance of succeeding? (I'm guessing "no".) And either way, what would be the likely impact (if any) of this appeal on future cases?

It seems to me what they may be able (or at least are trying) to do is establish a precedent for leniency in cases where the convict has made some restitution by helping solve the bigger problem of the trafficking organisation that recruited him.
