United Against Injustice

United Against Injustice is an association of independent member organisations.

Each year, UAI hold an annual meeting to mark National Miscarriage of Justice Day which is the 11th October, the meetings taking place on the Saturday falling closest to that date.

Attendance has grown considerably over the years and it is likely that larger venues will be needed for future meetings. They are both an excellent resource of information, with experts sharing their experience, and a place where support is shared among others who genuinely understand.

The first annual UAI meeting was held in 2001. In later years these meetings have been video recorded to make what is a wealth of information available not only for those who attend but also for those who can’t. Copies of the DVDs have been always been available but now, on behalf of and in association with the UAI, we are also making these videos available to view online. Details of how to obtain hard copies will be made available on the page relating to each years event.

The videos are currently being converted and uploaded and will be available shortly so please check back over the next few days as they come online.
