Declaration | Article 11: Right to the Presumption of Innocence

Making a Murderer is one of the most talked about TV shows of recent times. Netflix's addictive documentary series tells the true story of Steven Avery, a man falsely convicted of rape, finally released after 18 years, then put on trial for murder. The series raises complex questions about legal processes, vested interests, and trial by media - and, in the context of a health and human rights festival, is a fascinating subject to explore. Avery's social background, and low IQ, unquestionably had an impact on how he was treated, so how do our personal circumstances affect our 'right to an effective remedy by competent national tribunal' - and also our right to health? Join our expert panel of health and media commentators for a spirited discussion on one of 2016's hot cultural topics.
