Justice, Not Mercy
Hundreds of people convicted over the past decade believe they are victims of police–politically fabricated trials. The convicts from cases known as “Kaldarma,” “Detonator,” “Bachilo,” “Metastasis,” and many others are demanding retrials in order to have the chance to prove their truth and innocence. They have joined the association “Green Lens,” which is leading the initiative to introduce legislation that would reopen around 30 court cases. They are seeking justice, not mercy.
