    Vladimir Kara-Murza, who is suffering after-effects of two poisonings, is two years into 25-year sentence in Russian jail.

    Evgenia Kara-Murza wife of the jailed Russian-British citizen Vladimir Kara-Murza says she fears every day for her husband's life on the second anniversary of his arrest, as worries grow that the veteran politician could be the next dissident to die behind bars in Russia.

  • Glynn Simmons: I spent 48 years in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Here's how I fought my way to freedom
    DUKAS_166661701_EYE
    Glynn Simmons: I spent 48 years in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Here's how I fought my way to freedom
    Glynn Simmons was released last year after almost half a century behind bars. Now 70, he describes his torment and terror as he battled to overturn one of the worst miscarriages of justice in US history.

    Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn't have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.

    Simmons was later charged with the murder of a 30-year-old liquor store worker, Carolyn Sue Rogers, who had been shot in the head during a separate robbery.

    Perhaps the most shocking thing about Simmons's story is that he needed no new evidence to prove his innocence; it had been there all the time. He told the Tulsa-based lawyer Joe Norwood the same thing he had been telling other lawyers for decades; the only difference is that Norwood listened to him.

    Glynn Simmons: I spent 48 years in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Here's how I fought my way to freedom
    Glynn Simmons was released last year after almost half a century behind bars. Now 70, he describes his torment and terror as he battled to overturn one of the worst miscarriages of justice in US history.

    Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn't have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.

    Simmons was later charged with the murder of a 30-year-old liquor store worker, Carolyn Sue Rogers, who had been shot in the head during a separate robbery.

    Perhaps the most shocking thing about Simmons's story is that he needed no new evidence to prove his innocence; it had been there all the time. He told the Tulsa-based lawyer Joe Norwood the same thing he had been telling other lawyers for decades; the only difference is that Norwood listened to him.

    Glynn Simmons: I spent 48 years in prison for a murder I didn't commit. Here's how I fought my way to freedom
    Glynn Simmons was released last year after almost half a century behind bars. Now 70, he describes his torment and terror as he battled to overturn one of the worst miscarriages of justice in US history.

    Glynn Simmons had been in Oklahoma for six days when he was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He was 22, he didn't have a criminal record and the police had no obvious reason to pick him up that day in 1975.

    Simmons was later charged with the murder of a 30-year-old liquor store worker, Carolyn Sue Rogers, who had been shot in the head during a separate robbery.

    Perhaps the most shocking thing about Simmons's story is that he needed no new evidence to prove his innocence; it had been there all the time. He told the Tulsa-based lawyer Joe Norwood the same thing he had been telling other lawyers for decades; the only difference is that Norwood listened to him.

  • In 1994, I was the last person sent to prison in the UK for being gay - and I'm still being punished today: David Bonney

    In 1994, I was the last person sent to prison in the UK for being gay - and I'm still being punished today: David Bonney
    For two years, David Bonney's sexuality was investigated by his employer, the RAF. When he confessed, he was sent to solitary.

    David Bonney, photographed at the Guardian Studios in London. David Bonney was the last serviceman to be sent to prison for being homosexual. He was found guilty at a court martial in Cornwall in 1993. Bonney had joined the RAF aged 17 in 1987 and said he had "earned and accepted I was gay" when he served during the first Gulf war.
    Bonney said he was subject to a two-year investigation after a copy of Gay Times had been found in his room. That included, he said, "bugging my room, having people follow me, placing officers outside the local gay bars to spy on people going in, using the local police stations to take my friends to, to interview them and altogether create terror and fear among my friends and associates".
    The court martial sentenced him to six months in prison, of which he served four including one month of solitary confinement, and left him with a criminal record - although following an appeal his discharge was changed to honourable.
