Justice Delayed is Justice Denied
In 1976, the Sallins Mail Train robbery led to one of Ireland’s most notorious miscarriages of justice. Nearly five decades later, the victims and their families are still waiting for the truth. Join our call for an immediate, independent public inquiry.
A Miscarriage of Justice
In 1976, a high-profile mail train robbery in Sallins, Ireland, triggered a dark sequence of wrongful convictions. Osgur Breatnach, Michael Kelly, and Brian McNally, were unjustly condemned under intense political pressure.
Severe allegations of state-sanctioned torture and forced confessions shadowed the investigation, casting doubt on the entire prosecution. Despite the total lack of physical evidence linking the men to the robbery, it took a prolonged, agonizing legal battle and relentless human rights campaigning to finally secure their exonerations.
