Page Description
Explore cases of wrongful convictions, systemic failures, and institutional deceit—where justice, fairness, and honesty became a cruel horizon.
When Justice Becomes Cruelty
Justice is meant to be a pillar of truth and fairness, yet history reveals countless cases where it has been twisted into a mechanism of cruelty. When institutions abandon their duty to seek the truth, innocent people suffer, and the very concept of justice collapses.
This page brings together high-profile cases where power, deceit, and systemic failure destroyed lives. From wrongful convictions to academic fraud, from judicial arrogance to corporate cover-ups – each case is a stark reminder that fairness and honesty can become illusions when systems serve their own interests instead of the truth.
Below are links to detailed pages on specific cases, each exposing a different facet of justice
Wanneer Gerechtigheid Wreedheid Wordt
Gerechtigheid zou een pijler van waarheid en eerlijkheid moeten zijn, maar de geschiedenis laat talloze gevallen zien waarin ze is verdraaid tot een instrument van wreedheid. Wanneer instellingen hun plicht om de waarheid te zoeken verzaken, lijden onschuldige mensen, en stort het hele concept van gerechtigheid in.
Deze pagina brengt spraakmakende zaken samen waarin macht, bedrog en systemisch falen levens hebben verwoest. Van onterechte veroordelingen tot academische fraude, van gerechtelijke arrogantie tot doofpotaffaires – elk geval herinnert ons eraan dat eerlijkheid en rechtvaardigheid illusies kunnen worden wanneer systemen hun eigen belangen boven de waarheid stellen.
Hieronder vindt u links naar gedetailleerde pagina’s over specifieke zaken, die elk een ander aspect van ontspoorde gerechtigheid blootleggen.

The Bigger Picture
What unites all these cases is not just the suffering of individuals, but the systemic failures that allowed these injustices to happen. The refusal to admit mistakes. The institutional loyalty over truth. The blind faith in flawed systems.
Justice, honesty, and fairness should not be a cruel horizon – always promised but never reached. By exposing these failures, we remind ourselves that justice must be constantly defended, or it will become just another instrument of power.
Het Grotere Plaatje
Wat al deze zaken verbindt, is niet alleen het leed van de individuen, maar de systemische falen die deze onrechtvaardigheden mogelijk maakten. De weigering om fouten toe te geven. De loyaliteit aan instituties boven de waarheid. Het blind vertrouwen in gebrekkige systemen.
Gerechtigheid, eerlijkheid en rechtvaardigheid mogen geen wrede horizon zijn – altijd beloofd, maar nooit bereikt. Door deze mislukkingen bloot te leggen, herinneren we ons eraan dat gerechtigheid voortdurend verdedigd moet worden, anders wordt het slechts een ander instrument van macht.

Film and TV producer Tony Garnett has died aged 83. In 2016 HARDtalk’s Stephen Sackur spoke to him about his life and work.

In contrast, Tony Garnett’s work was unforgettable. He uncovered dark corners of British life, addressing subjects such as homelessness, illegal abortion and police corruption. How much of his motivation came from the dark corners in his own life?

Post Office Board knew about Horizon system flaws and exclusive document show insurers were alerted
18 jan 2024
As the Post Office Inquiry continues to hear testimony, more and more details are coming to light about who knew what when.
Back in 2019, the Post Office spent at least a-hundred-million pounds still defending the Horizon system when more than five hundred subpostmasters won their landmark settlement.
Tonight, we’ve seen documents that appear to show that the Post Office Board was aware of the Horizon system’s failures back in 2013 – indeed it was so worried about a potential miscarriage of justice that it alerted its insurers.
David Davis: ‘I don’t care if it bankrupts the Post Office’ don’t challenge the Postmasters
7 jan 2024
“There should be no challenge. The appeal is made and it basically goes through on the nod.”
Neither the Post Office nor judicial system should challenge appeals by Horizon scandal victims seeking to overturn wrongful convictions says Sir David Davis, Conservative MP and former Brexit Secretary.
