Oscar Pistorius, the former South African Olympic runner, will not be allowed to speak to the media after being freed on parole later this week, reports RTE.
Almost 11 years have passed since he shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
In late November, Pistorius, 37, was granted early release from prison on Friday, January 5, following a parole board review determining his suitability for social reintegration.
“Just like other parolees, Pistorius is restricted from conducting media interviews. An elevated public profile linked to Pistorius does not make him different from other inmates nor warrant inconsistent treatment,” the Department of Correctional Services said in a statement, reports RTE.
The ex-athlete is scheduled to be released from a Pretoria suburbia prison on Friday.
