Guildford Four

The Guildford Four refers to a group of four individuals wrongfully convicted in 1975 for carrying out pub bombings in Guildford, England, linked to the Irish Republican Army (IRA). Their convictions were based on coerced confessions and unreliable evidence. After years of campaigning and legal battles, their convictions were quashed in 1989, highlighting serious flaws in the police investigation and the justice system. This case raised significant concerns about wrongful convictions and the treatment of suspects, particularly in politically sensitive contexts. It serves as a crucial example of the need for justice reform and safeguards against miscarriages of justice.
