Kevan is innocent
The prosecution case was built through disputed identification, second-hand claims and joint enterprise.
Current fight
Where the fight stands now
Kevan is innocent. His fight now has several connected fronts: the original conviction, the evidence the prosecution used, the CSC and segregation regime, his health and safety in prison, and the practical work of keeping his voice and legal challenges visible.
At a glance
Four things to understand first.
Kevan’s case is often misunderstood when the conviction, the prison regime and the support work are treated as separate stories. They are connected. The conviction put him inside; prison conditions have made the fight harder; outside support keeps the record alive.
CSC and segregation remain central
Years of Close Supervision Centre conditions, segregation and transfers shape Kevan’s daily life and his ability to fight.
High Court 2025, Court of Appeal 2026
The 2025 judgment gave a narrow Article 8 declaration but dismissed the wider review. The 2026 appeal was dismissed.

The connected fronts
Four connected fronts.
Kevan’s situation is complicated, but the central truth is simple: he is innocent. The prosecution case is challenged, the prison regime has intensified the harm, and supporters can help keep the facts visible.
The wrongful conviction
Kevan is innocent. He says he was not connected to the Bishop’s Stortford case, and the prosecution evidence did not safely connect him to it. Joint enterprise then helped turn disputed facts into a life sentence.
- Weak identification was treated as stronger than it was.
- Second-hand claims carried weight they could not safely bear.
- Joint enterprise helped bridge gaps in the case.
CSC, segregation and solitary confinement
Kevan has spent years under CSC and segregation conditions while fighting his conviction and prison treatment. The Frankland history includes his account of racism, physical and sexual violence, PTSD evidence, fear for his life, the later acquittal and years of CSC transfers.
- The 2011 jury acquitted Kevan after hearing his lawful self-defence case.
- The Court of Appeal judgment records repeated CSC transfers.
- The campaign continues to oppose the conditions and their human cost.
Health, safety and prison treatment
The prison-condition fight is not abstract. It affects Kevan’s mental health, legal work, family contact, correspondence, safety, access to documents and ability to keep proving his innocence.
- Supporters have raised concerns about isolation, racism, religion and access to care.
- Use the latest Contact page before sharing old prison addresses or action alerts.
- Writing to Kevan remains one of the most direct ways to show solidarity.
Records, volunteers and support
Documents and careful support can change what people see. Letters, complaints, court documents, old news items, legal authorities and corrections can strengthen the public case.
- Volunteers can help with law, criminology, human rights, archives and writing.
- Supporters can send documents, memories, corrections and useful contacts.
- Public pressure grows when the evidence is easier to read and share.
Court record
The recent court outcomes were limited, and the fight continues.
The 2025 and 2026 judgments did not end the campaign. They record important facts about Kevan’s position and prison history, but they also dismissed the main public-law challenge to long-term segregation.
That distinction matters. The site can stand firmly with Kevan while being accurate about what the courts decided.
[2025] EWHC 230 (Admin)
Kevan challenged long-term segregation decisions under Prison Rule 46. He won a narrow Article 8 procedural declaration because the relevant committee had not been properly constituted. The wider judicial review was dismissed.
[2026] EWCA Civ 503
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal. The judgment records Kevan’s continued denial of guilt, the 2011 Frankland acquittal and the long history of CSC transfers.
Legal dismissal is not the same as justice
Kevan and supporters continue because the conviction, the evidence, the prison regime and the barriers to proving innocence from inside remain the heart of the campaign.
What has changed recently
Recent records now sit beside a long campaign archive.
Older posts remain valuable because they show years of campaign work. Newer court records and prison-condition reporting help people find the current position without mistaking historical action appeals for live instructions.
Whitemoor and isolation concerns
Public reporting and campaign material describe the move to HMP Whitemoor, renewed segregation concerns and the continuing impact of isolation.

The appeal was dismissed. The judgment still records facts supporters should not lose: Kevan continued to deny guilt, and the Frankland acquittal remains part of the history.
