What they say about Medical Justice:

• “What Medical Justice did was absolutely remarkable. They sent two specialists to see me in Harmondsworth, thoroughly documenting all my scars. The medico-legal report was over 40 pages long. They did professional work, and this ultimately helped me get out of detention.” – former detained person and Medical Justice client
