The networks of 4WardEverUK humbly pays respect to a giant of our time. May he rest in eternal peace. Professor Benjamin Zephaniah (cousin of Mikey Powell), sadly died on 7 December 2023 aged 65.

Dr Kwame Nkrumah said (inspiration for 4WardEverUK's name);
“We face neither East nor West; We face forward. All men of goodwill, organize, organize, organize. We prefer self-government in danger, to servitude in tranquility. Forward ever, backward never”.

In total there are 733 case profiles, short profiles and tributes that are currently available or featured on this website.


We particularly focus on and support the call for police, penal and mental health reforms, for an end to custody deaths, killings or abuse, wrongful convictions and the brutality of torture, genocide and capital punishment.
