Remembrance procession UFFC and Jean Charles de Menezes: Saturday 29 October

Please join the family campaigns from 1pm until around 3pm, Trafalgar Square to Downing Street. We want legal justice for the families of all of the people, more than a thousand who died at the hands of the police. The police must be accountable when they commit crimes.
