Project to prove more miscarriages of justice

After exonerating Harry Gleeson, a Tipperary man wrongfully executed for a murder he did not commit, members of the Irish Innocence Project are working to prove more miscarriages of justice.

The initiative is currently focusing on 28 cases, including that of Mark Marku who has been jailed in Greece for crimes international justice campaigners say he could not have committed.

Mark, originally from Albania, met Carlow woman Julie O’Reilly in Greece. They were married in Ireland in 2009 and were living here when Mark was arrested on a return visit to Crete the following year.
