Charles Bronson pledges to 'expose unlawful sentence' ahead of parole hearing
The Parole Board has confirmed Charles Bronson's latest bid for release will progress to an oral hearing in the coming months, where Bronson could be invited to make his plea for freedom.
The decision is a hopeful development for one of Britain's longest-serving and most notorious prisoners, and means a fuller examination of his eligibility for release will now take place. Bronson, 73, has spent more than five decades in custody.

In a letter to Sky News, Bronson wrote: "I am 23 years over my tariff. I am forever denied progress.
