Following last week’s episode on the criminalisation of seeking asylum, today we take a deep dive into the prosecution and conviction of Ibrahimah Bah. Is he a scapegoat? Is he a victim of political imperatives? Our Guest is Frances Webber, Author of Borderline Justice, Barrister and board member of the Institute of Race Relations for over 40 years. The facts of this case raise serious questions and the prospects of an appeal loom large. Every Individual must be afforded a fair trial and the principles of justice and fairness demand that all including those who don’t have power and are the most vulnerable in society have access to justice.
Frances gives us a masterclass in how the judicial system sees and treats people seeking asylum. One hopes that the courts uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals, regardless of their circumstances, notwithstanding the UK Governments' unilaterally ‘rewriting’ the Refugee Convention and violating international law in that vein the organisation Captain Support is helping 175 people who face prosecution to find legal representation.
On the 12th of March 2024, they launched a letter-writing campaign calling for Mr Bah to be freed.
