It’s shameful & shocking that given what I've gone through & how huge the campaign to bring me home was, & the Government acknowledge the injustice of my experience, still they do not recognise what's going on at home.

‘IPP sentences keep people inside based on what they might do in future, not what they have actually do - it's predictive sentencing’

We joined @ungripp.bsky.social at Labour Party Conference for a powerful panel on why we must resentence people still trapped under abolished IPP sentences.

As Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe said:
“Indefinite detention quickly slides into a kind of torture.”

It’s a national disgrace that these prisoners have not had their cases reviewed, if not all been released already. And we have a shortage of cells! @sarahsackman.bsky.social you are my MP and the Solicitor General, do please look at this.
