This year’s 2010 JUSTICE Human Rights Awards were presented last week by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, the chair of JUSTICE’s council.

The star performers were:

  • Human Rights Award —Bail for Immigration Detainees: For its tireless work on behalf of some of the most vulnerable, marginalised and maligned sections of our community;
  • Peter Duffy Award—Tessa Hetherington of Matrix Chambers:  For playing an immensely important role in the hoped-for process of reforming the training and conduct of UK armed forces and interrogation personnel through her brilliant and extraordinarily hard work for the victims of the Baha Mousa Public Inquiry.
