British man wrongfully convicted in 2003
A man convicted of a 2003 Salford rape has been jailed for 24 years in his absence after fleeing to Bosnia when mistakenly released from prison. The court has noted the survivor's bravery as inquiries into policing and miscarriage of justice unfold.
Posthumous conditional pardon has been granted to Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in the UK, recognizing a grave injustice linked to domestic abuse. The decision replaces the death penalty with life imprisonment, while underscoring ongoing failures in how abuse shapes criminal outcomes.
