Another death at the hands of police - Demonstration for Kebba Jobe
Kebba Jobe, a 42-year-old father of seven was killed by police on 15/5/05 around 2pm in broad daylight at Camden Lock. Yet another person dies due to police "restraints". The time is here for action. All we ask for is justice and an end to this police brutality.
There will be a demonstration on Saturday 22/05/04 at 2pm, starting from Camden Lock and going along to Kentish Town police station. All supporters welcome.

In a truly sickening twist of fate Kebba Jobe was the cousin of Ibrahima Sey another person who died at the hands of the police supposedly in their custody. Kebba was a fervent campaigner for justice for Ibrahima.
Who is Kebba Jobe? ( from
http://www.ncadc.org.uk/ )
"Kebba Jobe is a 37 year old Gambian who has lived in Britain since 1994. His father has lived here for the last 36 years and his two sisters were born here and live in Peterborough. His Mother is dead - he has no close relatives in Gambia.
Jackie met and fell in love with Kebba and they married in 1995. They now have a 3 year old daughter Rohey. Jackie is from Hemel Hempstead. Kebba, Jackie and Rohey live together in Camden. Now the Jobe Family face being torn apart
Kebba applied for Asylum in 1995. He was turned down. He applied for leave to remain on the basis of his marriage to Jackie and that was also turned down, despite the fact that he has been living with Jackie for the last 4 years bringing up his daughter Rohey.
One Tragedy is Enough
Kebba is the cousin of Ibrahima Sey, who died on March 15th 1996 after he was taken into custody by Forest Gate police officers and taken to Ilford Police Station. Ibrahima was restrained by the Police who handcuffed him and sprayed CS (pepper) spray in his face. According to police accounts, Ibrahim then became unwell and was taken to hospital where he died at 6.23am.
For Kebba and Jackie the violent death in police custody of Ibrahima was very traumatic, both were active in the campaign for justice for Ibrahima. Having a relative killed in this way is unimaginable. Then to be told you are to be deported to Africa leaving your wife and child behind is beyond comprehension."
Another death at the hands of the police. This is just another facet of the government's rascist immigration /asylum policies and the facist logic of the Metropolitan Police Force. It's a crack down by the rich ( the establisment ) against the poor with the aid of the military-industrial complex ( and that includes the police ). This is a global dispute.
There ain't No Justice - Just Us

Yet again the police have killed one of our brothers, its 1000 dead in police custody since 1969 and no pigs ever convicted let alone charge. They are saying we will have to wait until January 2005 for an official inquest to determine how and why Kebba died. It was days before the police put up an incident board appealing for witness' and people who witnessed the whole thing were not interviewed until recently.
This will not do!
We cant let them use excessive force and kill one us!
This all happened under pretext of searching for Ganja!!!
With more cops in london then at any other point, on every street and on the beat, trying to appear like being friendly but in reality controlling our lives keeping us under watch, with their racism and intimidation.......
we must kick up a fuss lets not let them get away with it
all out on Saterday 22nd May
Meet at Camden Lock 2PM
We will march on Kentish Town Police Station were the Pigs who murdered Kebba work.

The police oficer then stayed upon the victim, even though the victim was having trouble breathing.
A member of the crowd standing nearby then put the victim in recovery position and cleared his mouth wit her finger.
The police pulled her off, put the victim back on his chest front, and stated to the assistant that she had put 'something' in the victim's mouth and that resulted in the victim's death.
the police then made arrangements to visit the assistant in her home on the following monday, alone, for an interview. No clear reaosn for the interview was provided.
These events are not reported in the Camden Journal or in other media reports.
Under Atrticle 5 [Human Rights Act 1998] the police have been more restricted in their actions during detentions, having been found to use unnecessary force and therefore to execute unlawful arrest on a number of occasions.
the police may have been setting an example rather than making an arrest. If one exaines the place where the blood is on the Hawley Lock site one cannot imagine that any force is needed to make an arrest. There is nowhere to go, except perhaps to jump in the canal. That stretch of the foot path seems to have no CCTV even though there is a lock on site and a market on one side of the lock and busy resturants on the only other side.
perhaps it is reasonable to ask if the police are avoiding the courts altogether.
local interviews along canalside in the past week ahve shown that members of the local public seem to accept any police action as long as the 'D' word is applied.
