This is one of our most important projects. It is a humanitarian venture to highlight the lack of assistance provided to the demonstrably innocent victims of proven miscarriages of justice. The Cardiff Five (Yusef Abdullahi, John and Ronnie Actie, Stephen Miller and Tony Paris) were the first to be vindicated – proved innocent of murder by the conviction of the real murderer. Despite this they did not qualify for assistance to rebuild their lives, even though there was a government sponsored scheme to allegedly help victims of miscarriages of justice..
Proved Innocent – Vindication (Britain) explains how this happened and details its success in forcing policy reform to enable the needs of many victims of miscarriages of justice who slipped through the nets to be catered for. However, there is still a forgotten group of victims whose need for help has not been acknowledged, let alone resolved.
