Welcome to our page for the Campaign Against the Sexual Violence Bill – our Innocence Protection Project
I’m Samira Taghavi, criminal defence barrister and I am, like many criminal lawyers, actively fighting this bill which is going through Parliament at the moment. The bill as it is presently written, contains two measures that – tragically – would put innocent defendants (mostly men) in jail.
I have written several opinion pieces on the bill. My latest piece is just below, with links to more pieces following, by me and other worried writers. If you would like to comment on the bill, the articles on it, your experience of the justice system, or anything else of relevance, please do – in the box provided.
