Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by armed police inside Stockwell Tube
station on 22 July. His execution brought worldwide attention to a shoot
to kill policy that the Prime Minster and the Metropolitan Police
Commissioner say is here to stay. We say *’NO SHOOT TO KILL’* and demand
an end to this brutal policy. Jean Charles was not the first victim of
police shootings – Derek Bennett, Azelle Rodney, Harry Stanley and James
Ashley are just some of the other people that have been shot dead on the
streets of Britain. Their families continue to fight for justice. If you
want to support these families. If you want to see those responsible for
these killings prosecuted. If you want to defend human rights in the UK
then attend this meeting and the events that will follow.
The so called ‘War on Terror’ is being used as an excuse for increasing
militarisation of the police and increased powers that are already
leading to miscarriages of justice. If we do not take a stand on this
issue now then others will suffer. Support and join the *’NO SHOOT TO
KILL’* campaign before it is too late.
