The People’s Tribunal on Police Killings is designed to take forward the heritage of families struggle in a way that radically challenges the status quo. They are particularly concerned that the crimes of murder and manslaughter committed by state agents have gone unpunished for decades.

The People’s Tribunal has no legal status but acts as a court of the people, a Tribunal of conscience, faced with injustices and violations of law, that are recognised but continue with complete impunity due to the lack of political will of successive UK governments.

The Tribunal will call an international panel with experience from outside the UK to examine the evidence collated from cases covering three decades of crime and impunity in terms of police violence that has led to death. It will also highlight the issue of racist police violence as it impacts citizens.
