Families speak about their loved ones and the tribunal.

 

 

 

“The struggle for justice for my brother, and all the others that have died at the hands of the state, goes on. We ask people to support us. We cannot keep silent and condone these killings.”

Sieta Lambrias sister of Mikey Powell who died at the hands of the police in Birmingham in 2003

“The government has admitted, for the first time, that they have failed to hold the police officers accountable for my brother Christopher’s right to life and for the degrading and inhuman treatment, as well as racism.  In other words they have murdered my brother and I have forced them to admit it.  Stand up and believe in your fight!”

Janet Alder whose brother Christopher died in Hull police station in 1998

“We have zero tolerance of murder, manslaughter cruelty and negligence being carried out by the British police and condoned by Parliament. It is our intention to speak for our loved ones who have been killed”

Patricia Coker the mother of Paul Coker who died in Plumstead police station in 2005
