United Against Injustice are holding their 2nd Annual Miscarriage of Justice
Day Meeting at

The Britannia Adelphi Hotel Liverpool. on

11 October 2003 at 2pm


If you are a member of a miscarriage of Justice group or are involved in an individual case this is the meeting for you. If you are involved in any aspect of the criminal Justice system or have a social conscience this is the meeting for you. If you have never given the matter much thought, then this is definitely the meeting for you.

United Against Injustice (UAI) is the National Federation of Miscarriage of Justice Groups. UAI was set up to bring miscarriage of justice groups together to share information and expertise and to encourage and assist the setting up of a network of groups throughout the country.

Our First Meeting held in Liverpool on October 12th 2002 (National Miscarriage of Justice Day) generated intense interest and in order to build upon that success we decided to hold our second meeting again in Liverpool.Our intention is to take future meetings to all parts of he country. The meeting will be held as close to 12th October, National Miscarriage of Justice Day, as is practicable.

The General theme of the meeting on 11 October is The Causes of Miscarriages of Justice. Topics covered will be non disclosure, poor defence, police malpractice, identification issues and much much more.UAI has brought together, in one place, a panel of speakers with expertise and experience you would have difficulty finding elsewhere.
