Innocence Ottawa, a pro-bono, student-run innocence project based in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa that helps the wrongly convicted apply for conviction review to the Minister of Justice, hosts a guest lecture on the wrongful conviction of Michael Kassa.  Members of Innocence Ottawa and Michael's family will discuss the details of his legal ordeal and the fight to clear his name. The event will be followed by a Q&A.

Space is limited; attendance will be  allocated on a first come first serve basis.

This event is part of Criminology Week 2018: Moving Beyond Insecurity and Exclusion.
