Next JIMS protest - 4th June 2026, Holyrood, Edinburgh, 11am-2pm
If you care about justice, this one’s simple: show up.
Because right now, decisions made in courtrooms are ripping families apart and far too many people are only seeing one side of the story.
Why come if you already support us?
- Because support in silence changes nothing.
- Because your presence sends a message politicians can’t ignore.
- Because behind every “case” is a real family missing birthdays, milestones, and years they’ll never get back.
- Because the system doesn’t fix itself - it only changes when people force it to.
And let’s be honest- if thousands are affected, but only a handful speak up, it’s easy for those in power to pretend it’s not a problem.
Why come if you’re unsure, or even sceptical?
Even better. Come anyway.
Speak to the families. Look them in the eye.
Ask them what evidence wasn’t heard. Ask them how cases were built. Ask them what “fair trial” actually looked like in practice.
Don’t take our word for it. Don’t take headlines at face value either.
Come and see the human side of it- the part that never makes it into neat little narratives.
You might walk away thinking the same.
Or you might walk away realising something isn’t quite right.
Either way, you’ll be better informed than 99% of people shouting opinions online.
This protest isn’t about shouting into the void.
It’s about being seen. Being heard. And making it impossible to ignore what’s been happening for years.
No matter who is in power, they need to know one thing:
- We’re not going away.
- We’re not staying quiet.
- And we’re not accepting a system that risks convicting the innocent.
If you’ve ever said “this doesn’t feel right”… this is your moment to act on it.
Show up.
