Association supports Pora compensation

Association supports Pora compensation

The Association called for an inquiry into the Pora case in 2013 due to concerns raised by some senior police officers about the soundness of the conviction. We believe the subsequent decision by the Privy Council to quash the conviction was the correct one.
