ARCHBISHOP JOINS A VERY INCOMPLETE LIST OF THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE

It is a stark and sobering fact that so many people throughout history have suffered and are suffering unjustly at the hands of the so called 'justice' system.
ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE IS INNOCENT-HE HELPED STOP A PAEDOPHILE
http://bishopjonathanblake.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/press-release-concerning-met-police.html
"You brave, courageous and wonderful man.
To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression
is truly an act of a pure heart."
From those who have been falsely accused, to those who have languished in prison for decades, to those whose lives have been taken from them, who have effectively been murdered by the state, by the courts, by the lawyers and by the juries that wrongly convicted them.

It's easy, for those unaffected, to be blase about such suffering, almost in the glib manner that innocent casualties of war are scooped up in the permissive phrase, 'collateral damage'.

In time the truth can prevail. However, this is of little use for those whose lives were taken from them, who were blighted or whose lives were stolen by incarceration.

The one saving grace, is that those who know, 100%, that they are innocent, like myself and those whose family and friends know, 100%, that they are innocent, like myself, and moreover, those that know, 100%, that they have been acting righteously for the good of others, like myself, and those whose family and friends know, 100%, that they have been acting righteously for the good of others, like myself, are able to accommodate whatever indignities and suffering have been meted out to them, with the firewall of confidence, that love, truth and justice is on their side. That is why the peaceful martyrs of history, who have been unjustly convicted, have been able to die, at the hands of their accusers, with such grace. 

So here I place an incomplete list in whose company I am proud to be placed. It is incomplete, because there is no exhaustive list yet compiled, nor, in fact could there be. There are countless others who are unknown victims of injustice, for whom truth never manage to prevail, who are forgotten or even unknown and so unrecorded.

So these names, while each bearing a story of unjust suffering, are also symbols pointing beyond themselves to the 'collateral damage' of  imperfect and dangerously flawed judicial systems.
