Deaths in Custody calls urgent protest 17 March 2010

The Deaths In Custody Watch Committee (WA) Inc urgently needs your support at an urgent public protest action at Parliament House on Wednesday 17th March 2010, 12.30pm. 

Print the flyer attached.

 It has been two years since Mr. Ward's horrific and wholly avoidable death in the back of a prison van not fit to transport humans in.  Justice delayed, is justice denied!

The State Government's has failed to deliver three key demands from the Australian community in what can only be described as one of the worst human rights tragedies in Australian living memory.

Compensation to Mr. Ward's family, extended family and community - Mrs. Ward is distressed and is virtually destitute. This can only be described as a disgraceful situation!

Termination of the government contract with G4S – The Attorney General & Minister for Corrective Services, Mr. Porter claims that the contract with G4s cannot be terminated.  This is not true! It can and must be terminated!

Charges have not been laid against those responsible. This is outrageous!

 ACT NOW!
