United Families Social Network Launched

credit - Peter Marshall

Announced via update from Ken Fero and the Sean Rigg family

Following the gathering of affected families in London 2009, all the families involved decided to pursue new strategies and have met as a group to take action forward into 2010.

If you are a family or friend of someone that has died in custody and would like to get involved send an email to blackarchive@mac.com

History of UFFC:

In a church in Piccadilly last week, a small group of families and friends of those who have died in police custody gathered at a press conference, supported by the Bishop of Southwark, to speak about their experiences and to launch a new leaflet for the United Families and Friends Campaign.

The United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC), a coalition of those affected by deaths in police, prison and psychiatric custody, supports others in similar situations. Established in 1997 initially as a network of Black families, over recent years the group has expanded and now includes the families and friends of White people who have also died in custody.

The network includes the families of: Leon Patterson (died in police custody in 1992), Roger Sylvester (died after being restrained by police in 1999), Rocky Bennett (died in psychiatric custody in 1998), Harry Stanley (shot dead by police officers in 1999) and Sarah Campbell (died in Styal prison in 2003) and many others.

  • To all Parties Harmed by the LaRouche Network

    Is anyone considering a Class Action suit against LaRouche et al.?

    Dream Team:
    The Duggans and their attorneys, PLUS the Kronbergs and their attorneys.

    We have the documents and the witnesses, what we need is a legal General Staff to lead a united Front.

    The LaRouche network is an international problem that requires an international solution.
