FIGHTING MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE since 1993


INNOCENT is a Manchester-based organisation which supports and campaigns for innocent people in prison in the UK.
INNOCENT is made up of families, friends and supporters of wrongly convicted prisoners who have come together in order to help each other. It is an independent organisation.
Innocent!
Many innocent people have been wrongly convicted in the past. Some have now been released, some, including Kevin Callan, Dave Wood, Adrian Maher, Graham Huckerby, Shay Power, Suzanne Holdsworth, Ian Lawless and Martin Foran, with the support of INNOCENT. Many more innocent men and women are still in prison for crimes they have not committed.
If you are trying to help a wrongly convicted prisoner, contact INNOCENT.
INNOCENT meets every fortnight in Oldham, Greater Manchester (click here for details). Meetings are for families and other supporters of wrongly convicted prisoners. INNOCENT is independent of any other organisation, and is financed by the contributions of its members. We do not charge for any help we give. Donations are, of course, very welcome.
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest" - Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate

A few words about this website:
This website can only reflect a small fraction of INNOCENT's work. The prime purpose of our website is that of raising people's awareness of miscarriages of justice. For this reason much of the material reproduced here has been taken from articles and books dealing with the subject. We have attempted to credit authors and sources wherever possible. Corrections are welcome, as are additional articles and news of cases. Please contact INNOCENT site editor (please note that requests for help or messages to the organisation will be ignored if they are sent to the site editor - see contacts page).

INNOCENT exists to support people who have been wrongly convicted, because they did not commit the crimes for which they were convicted.
