OTD 4 yrs ago, in an east London convenience store, two men restrained a young Black man until he died. His name was #RashanCharles
We are not allowed to name the men who restrained him.

2 Metropolitan Police officers were tasked to guard the bodies of sisters, Bibaa Henry,46, and Nicole Smallman,27, who were stabbed to death in a Wembley park.
The police officers allegedly took "inappropriate pictures" aka selfies with the dead women and shared them around. 1/
Deniz Jaffer and Jamie Lewis, the 2 Met Police officers tasked to guard the murder scene, were sentenced (Dec 2021) to two years and nine months for taking & sharing photos of murdered sisters Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry / 35

Besides the racist horror and predictable pain & anguish caused to Nicole's & Bibaa's loved ones, police actions, which may have contaminated the murder scene, risked jeopardising the murder trial.

Today, as @UFFCampaign procession reaches Whitehall, a reminder of our work on #RashanCharles.
We couldn't possibly report deeply on each new death in police custody. We can't keep up. More each year, & more to come unless there's radical systemic change

Our inquiry & reporting reveals a recurring pattern. These things are systemic. More deaths inevitable.

Police claimed that an officer intervened to help #RashanCharles. That wasn’t true.

Who were those two men who restrained #Rashan ?
One was a uniformed police officer. The other was just a random “member of the public”, according to the police.
But we’ve found CCTV evidence that undermines the official story.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the killing of Rashan Charles by a police officer in #Hackney, London. We have our own #GeorgeFloyd and we have too many of them. Never forget #BlackLivesMatter. Help awareness by sharing this article. @ukblm @Star_BLM newstatesman.com/politics/uk…

📢Important, committed and powerful journalism from @Rebecca_Omonira and @CLARESAMBROOK at @SHINEreports.
The family of Rashan Charles have never had justice. This new documentary tells the story of his death, and the unanswered questions for those he left behind and the public.
4 years ago, Rashan Charles was restrained by Met police and died. He was 20 years old.
📺@SHINEreports have investigated since his death. In this new documentary with @novaramedia they explore the questions & serious concerns that remain. @Justice4Rashan

We couldn’t possibly report on, let alone investigate, every case of someone dying during or after police contact in the UK. There are so many.We can’t keep up.
Our work illuminates a recurring pattern >
