Giuseppe Conlon was an Italian man born in 1930 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He became known for being wrongfully convicted in the 1970s for his alleged involvement in the Guildford pub bombings, which were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). Conlon maintained his innocence throughout the trial and subsequent imprisonment. Conlon's case gained significant attention, highlighting issues of wrongful convictions and police misconduct. He spent 15 years in prison before his conviction was overturned in 1989. Tragically, he died shortly after his release, but his story remains a poignant example of the flaws in the justice system.
