We Stand with Baltimore - Black Lives Matter

U.S. Embassy London. Tue 5 May 2015

  

 
 The We Stand with Baltimore - Black Lives Matter vigil at the US Embassy was called by the London Campaign
Against Police and State Violence whose banner shows a black fist stopping a police baton.

 A womanat the vigil holds up a book, '100 Years of Lynchings' and says that nothing changes.

 The MOVE 9 have been in prison since August 8, 1978, after a massive police attack on the group at Powelton Village, Philadelphia.

 Black writer Mumia Abu-Jamal and American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier are both imprisoned on false charges in the US.

 

Julian Cole's neck was broken in an attack by police in Bedford in 2013, left paralysed and in a vegetative state.

A placard shows a few of the names of people killed in suspicious circumstances by UK police, mental health and prison workers.
No successful prosecution of any of those responsible for these over 1400 deaths.
