Ian Stillman

Ian Stillman (1950 – 25 May 2016) was a deaf British aid worker from Reading, Berkshire, England, in the United Kingdom, whose imprisonment and subsequent release from prison in India garnered media attention. Together with his wife Sue, he founded the Nambikkai Foundation.

Stillman's mission was sponsored by the Carey Baptist Church.

Stillman's attorney's claimed that Stillman, who is deaf and well known in India for his charitable work with the deaf, was the victim of "a gross miscarriage of justice."

The United Kingdom Council on Deafness collected tens of thousands of signatures on a petition to the Indian government asking for Stillman's release.

He was released following successful intervention by Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Foreign Secretary.

Stillman died on 25 May 2016 in Norfolk, England.
