Nadifa Mohamed: For Whom is Justice Served?
Can the truth save those who have been condemned for something other than a crime?

He feels secure in his innocence – but can he trust the system? Join Nadifa Mohamed, one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, for an hour of insight and empathy chaired by Jess Brough.
