Back in July we published a piece with the title Andrew Malkinson, 57, served 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit furiously slams ‘liar’ police and recounts how he feared for his life in jail – while telling victim of the crime the system ‘let us both down’ as Court of Appeal clears him. 15 minutes ago we received an email from Matt and Emma, the co-founders of APPEAL, the full text:

Dear APPEAL Supporter, Two quick things this morning from us. First, our client Andy Malkinson is guest editor for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme – you can tune in or catch up here. Second, please consider making a donation to support our seasonal crowdfund and help us bring home more innocent prisoners like Andy – click here to make a donation. Andy spent 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit – but APPEAL proved his innocence. Andy now plans to spend his life exploring the world and advocating for transformation of the system that failed him. On Radio 4 this morning Andy will be exploring the impact wrongful convictions have on individuals and their families, and how he survived his seventeen and a half years in prison by liberating his mind through the study of mathematics, physics and astronomy. You can also read his powerful article in iNews about a British Justice system in denial about its mistakes here. We receive hundreds of requests from other prisoners who urgently need our help – and yours. Please make a donation today to help fund the fight for people like Andy  – he is not the only one. Thank you for your support always. Emma and Matt Co-Directors, APPEAL
