23 August 2012

Despite evidence of institutional and systematic failure and 11 verdicts of unlawful killing since 1990, no state official has been successfully prosecuted for a death in custody. On Father’s Day, 17 June 2012, peaceful vigils were held across the UK in remembrance of those who have died in police detention.
