On 22 November 1974, the IRA planted bombs in two Birmingham pubs, killing 21 people and injuring almost 200 others. Six men convicted of the bombings were later found to be innocent.
Fifty years on, Chris Mullin describes how he tracked down the real bombers and the implications for the British justice. Chris will speak about why miscarriages of justice are still happening despite the major changes in police process and the judicial system.
After the event, he will be signing copies of his recently republished book, Error of Judgement.
