For over a decade, Abdus has lived through an unimaginable ordeal — wrongfully convicted and imprisoned at Cheshire Correctional Institution in Connecticut.

He has lost irreplaceable milestones, from burying his mother to witnessing the birth of his first grandchild, because of a system that failed him.

Now, Connecticut has introduced a new rule in the “actual innocence” process that makes proving innocence even harder. Instead of correcting injustice, it creates new barriers that keep innocent people behind bars.

The Innocence Project has shown that more than 20 people in Connecticut have been exonerated through new evidence or DNA. Abdus deserves the same chance.
