originally by: Voice Online
2nd June 2011
Thousands of people are expected to join a ‘campaign for justice’ march through the streets of Birmingham in support of Kingsley Burrell who died in March following contact with police.
It follows a similar march held in London in April over the death of Smiley Culture, and to demand an end to deaths in police custody.
Burrell’s family said the father of two called West Midlands police for help, was admitted to a mental health unit, then later transferred to the Queen Elizabeth hospital, where he was pronounced dead four days later on 31st March 2011.

Statement from the petition authors
We believe that equitable dispensation justice in the UK must be done and be seen to be done if the general public are to enjoy high levels of trust and confidence in the fair administration of justice. Further we believe that all peoples regardless of race, gender, colour or creed should be considered equal citizens under the law.
Suspicious deaths in custody and the abusive process of investigation and judication act as a drain on public confidence and cause deep scepticism and resentment in the fair administration of justice.
