#SaveOmar
- Omar Benguit has spent 23 years in prison, for a crime he did not commit. If he pled guilty, he would be released already, but he has always maintained his innocence.
- 13 witnesses for the prosecution have told the BBC the police pressured them to embellish or lie in court.
- It has just come out that the testimony of the last remaining witness for the prosecution is contradicted by the CCTV!
I'd rather die in prison saying I didn't do it, than get released now saying that I did do it. It's not going to happen. I'm an innocent man. Why should I lie just to get out?
Omar’s life, and the lives of his family have been destroyed by this, but it’s awkward for the government to admit that anything was wrong with public prosecutions and treatment of witnesses.
Omar has already sacrificed his freedom for the right to clear his name, we ask you give 60 seconds to help.
