"Posthumously pardoned"....

Oscar Wilde needs no "pardon"

Pardoned for what ? Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.
How about an unconditional apology and compensation for those still living ? State arrogance and hypocrisy at its best.

"...I wanted to eat of the fruit of all the trees in the garden of the world... And so, indeed, I went out, and so I lived. My only mistake was that I confined myself so exclusively to the trees of what seemed to me the sun-lit side of the garden, and shunned the other side for its shadow and its gloom."
