False Fraud Allegations: Real-World Nightmares In the USA, over 40,000 Michigan residents were wrongly accused of unemployment fraud due to a flawed automated system. Many faced debts, hardship & ruined credit, all false positives.
Similarly, in the UK, hundreds of Post Office workers were prosecuted for fraud over the buggy Horizon system showing fake shortfalls. Convicted, imprisoned, lives ruined.Later proven: software errors, not fraud.
Lesson: Bad tech + poor investigations = innocents labelled criminals.
Due process matters! @Elsie2127@AndreGuacci@FACTukorg @RebelGal01 @VetFather_Bill@KHarveyProctor@hanksoff03@jeffreyketland@JennyBurnley1@H1dd3nH4nd@DianaLyddo67405@DesouzaDia8045
What you really want to do is get rid of the premise of innocent until proven guilty. The accused has the right to require that the charge(s) be proved beyond a reasonable doubt and the state has a duty to prove the accusation(s). Without that, how does a judge know where in the sentencing guidelines to place a punishment? And of course there is the issue of wrongful convictions - but they seem to be too much of an embarrassment to be fully and appropriately discussed.
False allegations of murder can shatter innocent lives overnight. In murder wrongful convictions, false accusations/perjury play a role in over 70-76% of cases, leading to years or decades lost behind bars. Even without conviction, the stigma, legal costs, & trauma are immense. IFAD reminds us: Presumption of innocence protects everyone.
Demand due process!

JIMS Protest at Holyrood – 4th June 2026
Last Thursday, around 70 supporters gathered outside Holyrood to stand up for one simple principle: the right to a fair trial.
Despite forecasts of heavy rain, people travelled from across Scotland to make their voices heard. Families, supporters, and those directly affected by wrongful accusations stood together to remind Parliament that the issue of fair trials is not going away.
We would like to thank Felicity Stryjak of FACT UK for taking the time to attend and write a detailed account of the day. Her article captures not only the atmosphere of the protest but also the powerful stories shared by those brave enough to speak publicly about the impact that allegations, investigations, and unfair processes can have on individuals and families.
The speeches delivered on the day were the heart of the protest. They highlighted the human cost behind the statistics and legal arguments, giving a voice to people whose experiences are too often ignored.
Today, we are sharing the first speech from the event, and over the coming days we will continue to upload a new speech each day so that everyone who could not attend has the opportunity to hear directly from those affected.
We encourage our supporters to read Felicity's article, listen to the speakers, and share their stories. Public awareness is essential if meaningful change is ever to happen.
Thank you once again to everyone who attended, spoke, supported from afar, shared our content, or simply took the time to listen. Your support continues to strengthen our campaign for fairness, transparency, and justice.
Fair trials are a cornerstone of any democracy. Our campaign continues until those concerns are heard and addressed.

JIMS Protest At Holyrood, 4th June 2026
The weather forecast was grim, but the attendance was still good – around 70 people were willing to brave whatever the clouds dropped on them.
That said, the weather remained relatively kind with some rain spotting and only 1 momentous deluge towards the end of the protest, considerately held in abeyance until all the speeches were done.
Kirsty did a wonderful job of introducing the event, outlining JIMS’ remit and aims, reinforcing the fact that JIMS’ campaign is for fair trials, supports all genuine victims and renounces all the trolling and false accusations that come their way. Banners were held to reinforce this, one in particular reading ‘Our Dad was denied a fair trial; now we are denied our Dad.’ Talking to children and grandchildren old enough to understand the effects of what the legal system had visited on their families was especially moving.
Many were moved to tears by the eloquent words of Rena, who spoke of the devastating effect of a false accusation on her husband – a man so painfully aware of the lifelong effects of a false accusation and what it meant for him in terms of social execution, that he died by suicide last year. Contrary to popular belief, false accusations kill and her and her families experience is living proof of that.
Dr Stuart Waiton, the academic criminologist from Abertay University, then spoke in a personal capacity, despite the attempts by activists and the university itself to silence him last year. Free speech and its exercise matters and quite rightly, none of the complaints about his invitation to JIMS to give a lecture on his criminology course were upheld.
This was followed by an account by Wayne, an horrific retelling of how he was arrested in front of his young family, remanded in prison for over a year and never interviewed by police before being acquitted of all 17 charges of rape involving 2 women at trial. Given that one woman denied in court ever having accused him and his partner suffered pressure from police to also make a complaint, one has to wonder what the motives and policies of the police and prosecutors actually are. His is not a unique story, but he is unusually brave in talking about it publicly.
Beyond the speeches, there was time for interacting with the passing public who expressed an interest in the event and asked questions, (or, when driving by tooted their horns and waved in support), and between the protestors themselves, many of whom had harrowing experiences to relate.
Deliberately held outside the parliamentary building, all MSPs had been notified and invited to come and make themselves known; to learn first-hand what the concerns of JIMS members and their supporters are. Unlike the general public, they demonstrated virtually no interest whatsoever. Determinedly apolitical, JIMS does not curry favour or align with any political party, but of 129 MSPs, only 1 MSP (Reform) took the time to come and talk with the organisers. Worse, 1 (Green) MSP walking by openly stated their disinterest in the topic and another MSP (Green), when offered a leaflet to read, initially refused to take it and had to be persuaded to take it to read later. Every other party was conspicuous by its absence. Politicians themselves make it difficult for the public not to form opinions on their true motives once in office.
This is what those campaigning for fair trials are up against - the utter disinterest of our political representatives; representatives that have yet to respond to a Supreme Court ruling handed down 7 months ago, clearly stating that there is an issue with the fairness of rape and sexual offence trials in Scotland.
But JIMS is not to be deterred, and the fight continues. Those who can will join International Falsely Accused Day on 9th September 2026, and protests will continue at regular intervals until the public understands and the politicians listen. MSPs don’t all have to agree, but they are required to listen and they are also required to take note of Supreme Court rulings. Currently they are failing in far too many of their duties. Politics should not be for vanity projects or pet ideologies, it’s an important task affecting each and every member of the population that too few seem to take seriously.
Fair trials are not an option in a democracy and the protests will continue until we get them.

false accusations destroy lives think before accusing someone wrongly once convicted or simply accused the affects and brutal life changing and can ruin someone's life.

This is the consequence of false allegations - a man driven to suicide, a family destroyed. Not only are those who falsely accuse to blame but those who encourage, platform them and throw money at them in order to fuel a rotten agenda. I only hope Rena finds justice.💔
