A candlelight vigil was held tonight for a Burlington teacher who’s been held in an Indonesian jail for 19 days.

Friends and family gathered at Burlington city hall, to show their support for Neil Bantleman. He’s being held without charges, while police investigate the sexual assault of three kindergarten students. The 45-year-old has taught at the Jakarta International School for 4 years, along with his wife, Tracy. Tonight, Neil’s brother, Guy had a message for supporters.

A similar vigil was held in Alberta.
