Canadian school teacher Neil Bantleman has surrendered to Indonesian authorities and is currently being processed before he is expected to return to prison on Friday, according to Bantleman's brother Guy.

An Indonesian high court overturned the conviction of Canadian teacher Neil Bantleman, but his brother said the release doesn't mean he's bound for Canada just yet.

The family of a Canadian teacher imprisoned in Indonesia on much criticized child-abuse convictions is hoping a related ruling from a court in the neighbouring country of Singapore will help his case.
