The Release of the Birmingham Six

Available for over a year

In March 1991, six men wrongly accused of carrying out two bombings in the British city of Birmingham finally had their convictions quashed, ending one of Britain's worst miscarriages of justice. The Birmingham Six had spent more than 16 years in jail for a crime they did not commit. Witness talks to one of their daughters, Breda Power, about how it affected her and her family.
