Rebel Justice

In this powerful episode of Rebel Justice, we explore what happens when the courtroom becomes another site of violence- where trauma is not just ignored, but used against those already suffering.

We focus on the case of Constance Marten, whose high-profile trial for gross negligence manslaughter has captured national headlines. But beneath the surface lies a story of grief, abuse, coercion, and systemic failure. We hear Constance’s own words from prison, describing how the court process re-triggered deep trauma and stripped her of dignity.

We’re joined by researcher Samantha Zottola, who investigates trauma-informed approaches to justice and what a truly humane courtroom could look like.

This episode asks hard but urgent questions: What does justice mean for people whose trauma shapes how they speak, remember, or behave? And how do we build legal systems that respond with care instead of cruelty?

Content warning: sexual abuse, violence and trauma.

In this heartbreaking episode of Rebel Justice, we tell the story of Khadija Sennai—a mother, a fighter, and a woman betrayed by every institution meant to protect her. Diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer, Khadija endured months of neglect, indifference, and cruelty while imprisoned at HMP Bronzefield. Her repeated cries for help went unanswered—from hospitals that dismissed her symptoms, to a prison system that denied her proper nutrition, dignity, and essential care.

Her death in March 2025 was not inevitable—it was preventable. And she is not alone.

This episode exposes the systemic rot within prison healthcare and the complicity of corporate and institutional actors who failed her. Through testimony from fellow prisoners, investigative findings, and damning official responses, we lay bare the truth behind Khadija’s suffering—and demand justice in her name.

Her life mattered. Her story matters. This is a call for accountability, for reform, and for action.

We're calling out Tanvir Hynes and Christine Morrison, Sodexo prison managers and Harriet Tizard and Dave Wilkinson from CNWL NHS FT. They're directly responsible for her death. We've requested an inquest by the Chief Coroner, and an investigation by the PPO.

This week on Rebel Justice, we examine the silencing of abuse survivors in the courtrooms of England and Wales-through the complex and controversial case of Farah Damji. 

Convicted of stalking her former partner Nigel Gould-Davies, a self-proclaimed security expert on Russia, Damji's trial left crucial voices unheard—including testimonies alleging coercive control, theft, gaslighting and emotional abuse by Nigel Gould-Davies. 

Two former partners of Gould-Davies who were known to the prosecution and police, Amalia B and Miss Lee, agreed to give evidence. But for reasons which were not clear, the jury didn't hear their testimonies. 

We explore why these statements were excluded, what this means for justice, and the role of powerful institutions in shaping whose voices are protected—and whose are dismissed. 

Jane Graham HR director of IISS, refused to investigate allegations of domestic abuse and coercive control by Gould-Davies. But she also refused to come to court to give evidence.

With exclusive testimony, legal analysis, and a closer look at the IISS, this episode asks: when justice is blind, who pays the price?

In this powerful episode of Rebel Justice, hosted by The View Magazine, we continue the story of Grace Colbourne, a 37-year-old Antiguan woman and former military officer currently on remand at HMP Bronzefield, a private women’s prison in the UK. Grace is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, but instead of receiving proper medical care, she has faced disturbing delays, neglect, and dehumanising treatment while incarcerated.

Experts Jo Armes, Professor of Cancer Care at the University of Surrey, and Professor Rachael Hunter, a health economist from UCL, join the conversation to explore the systemic failures that prevent incarcerated women from receiving cancer care equivalent to what’s available in the community.

Together, they uncover how communication breakdowns, lack of on-site medical staff, missed appointments, and prison transfers disrupt diagnosis and treatment pathways—factors that significantly reduce survival rates for incarcerated cancer patients. 

This is not just Grace’s story—it’s a broader indictment of how the UK prison system fails some of the most vulnerable women in its care.

We at The View were deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing of a truly heroic justice reformer, Sunny Pringle. 

Sunny was a fierce advocate for justice and a guiding light for many. Sunny survived a wrongful conviction, leading to 17 years of imprisonment, five of which were spent in solitary confinement under a sentence of death. 

Sunny and her husband Peter Pringle, who was also exoneree and death row survivor, established The Sunny Center to help other Exonerees through the difficult process of building new lives after being released from prison. Together, they helped these people process their trauma and move forward with the next steps of their healing.

In this episode, we will hear an article written by Sunny for The View Magazine, talking about her experience and dedicated work. We will also be hearing from those who knew and worked alongside her, hearing the impact she had on so many people’s lives.

In Part One of this two-part episode, we hear the devastating testimony of Grace Colbourne — a 37-year-old Antiguan woman and former military officer, currently on remand at HMP Bronzefield. After discovering a lump in her breast, Grace began a months-long ordeal of medical delays, denial of choice, and dehumanising treatment while in custody.

Grace gave us her testimony from prison. Her words are voiced by actress Rianna Fay (@riannafay_ on Instagram). 

What you're about to hear is a story of neglect, trauma, and survival — of what happens when prison, healthcare, and systemic racism collide.

Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of medical trauma, abuse, and institutional neglect.

Part Two will include another testimony, a response from the NHS, and expert commentary from Professor Rachael Hunter and Dr Jo Armes.

The appalling neglect Grace has suffered is a direct result of failures by the prison healthcare provider, CNWL NHS Foundation Trust—particularly Harriet Tizard and Dave Wilkinson, the so-called clinical leads. Despite having no oncological training, they are blocking cancer diets already endorsed by prison GPs. Their actions border on clinical negligence. CNWL NHS FT is currently under investigation by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman for the disastrous way it’s mishandling cancer care in prisons.

In the second installment of a two-part conversation, Rebel Justice speaks with Zainab Salbi — humanitarian, author, survivor, and founder of Daughters for Earth. What happens when women lead environmental restoration efforts? 

Zainab Salbi and host Anna Shapiro journey through a radical reimagining of climate action rooted in care, connection, and the transformative power of small actions.

Zainab shares the story behind Daughters for Earth, her philanthropic fund supporting women on the frontlines of addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. Drawing inspiration from the African fable of the Hummingbird Effect—where a tiny bird fights a forest fire one drop at a time—she reveals how this approach has already supported 200 women-led initiatives across 50 countries in just three years, protecting millions of acres and thousands of species.

Her perspective expands our understanding of activism itself, emphasizing that lawyers negotiating environmental regulations, journalists covering climate issues, and spiritual leaders fostering earth connections are all vital parts of the same ecosystem of change.

This episode offers not just hope but practical wisdom for reconnecting with nature, each other, and ourselves as the foundation for lasting climate justice.

In this powerful first installment of a two-part conversation, Rebel Justice speaks with Zainab Salbi — humanitarian, author, survivor, and founder of Women for Women International. From growing up under Saddam Hussein’s regime to building a global movement for women survivors of war, Zainab’s life is a story of resilience, truth-telling, and transformation.

Hosted by Anna Shapiro, this episode explores how war impacts women in ways often ignored by history, and how illness brought Zainab into deeper connection with nature, purpose, and the feminine spirit. She shares what it means to slow down, to listen, and to rebuild life after devastation.

Zainab’s voice is calm, fierce, and unforgettable — a reminder that healing is a radical act, and that women’s stories are essential to justice.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where Zainab speaks about co-founding Daughters for Earth, and the deeper meaning of the Hummingbird Effect — a call to collective climate action through individual courage.

Held on remand for 13 months, Farah Damji's story exposes the brutal reality of how Britain's legal system can become an instrument of violence against women. With no evidence beyond the claims of her former partner, Nigel Gould-Davies, Farah has been denied bail repeatedly despite battling stage three breast cancer and suffering from untreated PTSD.
 
 The Crown Prosecution Service's case has been riddled with errors. First, they claimed Farrah sent harassing emails. Now they've pivoted to claim she "forced others" to send them. Meanwhile, they consistently ignore court orders to produce crucial evidence like Nigel's bank statements and medical records that could reveal the truth. The prosecution's barrister continues to spin tales while judges at Wood Green Crown Court refuse to grant bail under any conditions.
 
 We bring you the suppressed testimony of Holly Bright, who has known Farah for 40 years. Her shocking statement details a disturbing pattern of abuse, manipulation, and control by Nigel Gould-Davies—evidence the court refuses to hear. She describes how Nigel isolated Farah from friends, monitored her communications and made cruel comments about her body during cancer treatment. Despite multiple witnesses ready to testify about these behaviours, their voices are being silenced.
 
 This episode reveals how institutions meant to protect the vulnerable can instead become weapons against them. As Holly states in her testimony: "I believe Nigel Gould-Davies has been a perpetrator of violence against women for many years." Yet it's Farah who sits in a cell while her health deteriorates.
