This year, on Saturday 28 October, UFFC joined thousands of people protesting the Israel/Gaza conflict in solidarity with bereaved families whose loved ones have died in custody demanding justice. Again this year UFFC also showed solidarity with a simultaneous march and protest with fellow campaigners in Scotland.
The event has taken place every year in London since 1999. The group is made up of bereaved families and others affected by deaths at the hands of United Kingdom police, in prisons, in immigration systems, and psychiatric custody.
A recent quote from a UFFC spokesperson;
“A number of documentaries and radio chat shows have also highlighted disturbing growing public concern in mental health and policing.
“High profile Inquests continue to give rise to disturbing accounts given by state officials, which are implausible and/or improbable. Imminent Inquests will no doubt hear further implausible accounts.
“However, the deaths still continue with no accountability and the result is that deaths in custody are at an all time high. Countless years of unnecessary lengthy investigations continue to stifle justice to the families. The Hillsborough disgrace echoes year after year, case after case. Injustices as in the cases of Joy Gardner, Christopher Alder, Brian Douglas and Mikey Powell, to name but a few, are inhumane. Yet the British government refuses and/or is unwilling to give justice where it is blatantly due.”
The fight continues…
