And to Emma Torr and Naima Sakande who says: 'The authorities couldn't assure Jennifer she would be protected and it is a damning indictment of our system that prison was the first time she felt able to tell the truth.' APPEAL @we-are-appeal.bsky.social

"All he would need to do was a look or a movement and I knew…I had to be careful". Jennifer couldn't tell the truth when accused of injuring her baby because of the coervice control of her abusive partner. Now, we're supporting her to clear her name. ow.ly/eHWf50ETDYA

Absolutely *disgusted* that Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office would make such a horrendous decision as Afghanistan falls to Taliban rule. We can’t even honour the smallest of our promises to Afghans, and choose to abandon these bright students, including women who may never be able to study again.

Our client Andy Malkinson, who spent more than 17 years in prison maintaining his innocence, is at last given the chance to clear his name. A huge but long overdue step on the path to justice for Andy.
