INTRODUCTORY TEXT:
"In response to a number of allegations made against Hackney and
Stoke Newington police officers, Hackney Community Defence
Association (HCDA) was set up on July 22nd 1988. The Trevor
Monerville and Justice for Tunay campaigns and Hackney Anti
Fascist Action formed the organisation with the aim of providing
the victims of police crime with a campaigning voice........
HCDA is continuing a long tradition of resistance to police
injustice in Hackney. Throughout the 1970's and 1980's campaigns
have called for a public enquiry into the police to no avail.
HCDA is now calling on the Home Secretary to set up a judicial
Inquiry into the police at Hackney's police stations - Hackney,
City road, Stoke Newington, and Dalston (now closed).
