THUR
11 Dec. – The judge is still summing up the case. He will cover crucial medical
evidence tomorrow (Friday), starting from 10am. The jury is likely to go out
some time Monday. Please come, especially if you haven’t been yet; help fill
the gallery, support the family and bear witness to this very important trial.
We also highlighted Jimmy Mubenga at the fantastic
London Die-in
for Eric Garner, choked to death by New York police.
G4S
Guards on Trial
for
the death of Jimmy Mubenga
The
trial of the three guards who restrained Mr Mubenga on board a British Airways
flight is likely to finish next week. Closing arguments are expected to start
Monday. The jury is likely to go out Wednesday and we urge all who can to come
and bear witness in the final days of the trial.
A
member of the All African Women’s Group (a self-help group of asylum seekers)
from the Congo who has attended regularly said: “Witnesses describe Jimmy calling out “I
can’t breathe”, and asking for help but he didn’t get it. What happened to Jimmy can
happen to any of us anywhere, unless justice is done.”
Women
of Colour Global Women’s Strike, which has helped co-ordinate a rota of people
to go to the trial, says:
"We
are attending the trial to support Mr Mubenga’s family
and to demonstrate to all that Jimmy’s life mattered. 827
people have died in police custody since 2004 many of them people of colour. It
is women – mothers, sisters, daughters, wives – who are
left to pick up the pieces, defend our loved ones and are at the forefront of
campaigns for justice.
From
London to Ferguson, New York to Gaza, as long as money is poured into
privatised/militarised police forces, prioritising profit over life, all our lives are on the line."
