19 N. Ireland Protestant men, wrongfully imprisoned during the Troubles, will have their cases against the UK state for religious-based detention heard in court later this year.
19 Protestant men, claiming wrongful imprisonment without trial in N. Ireland during the Troubles, will have their cases heard in court later this year. Suing the UK state, they accuse the government of abusing power by jailing them due to religion. The first case will involve Jim Wilson, interned in 1973. This legal battle began over a decade ago, with the men arguing that they were interned to show internment wasn't solely focused on Catholics.
