What Some Families Have Said!

"My daughter was charged with arson with intent to take her own life - that was the charge. Three weeks prior to her tragic death Petra was in hospital for doing the same thing for 6 days, why? On 24th November 2004 I watched my daughter take her last heartbeat"

“When Seni became ill, we took him to hospital which we thought was the best place for him. We shall always bear the cross of knowing that, instead of the help and care he needed, Seni met his death. It took years of struggle to find out what happened to Seni"

"My brother Mikey Powell died in police custody in September 2003. It’s been a long struggle for justice since then and many thousands of other families are still struggling to find out why and how their loved one died in police, prison immigration or secure hospital units"

“My transgender daughter tragically took her life in a male prison. I just hope that the laws are changed, that transgender people can live their life as they want and go to the appropriate prison. If they are living as a woman then they should go to the women’s prison”

"My brother Sean Rigg died in police custody in August 2008. The impact on our family has been devastating and there are many thousands like us who need your support. It’s time to step forward to keep up the work. With your support we can move one step closer to justice"
