A SILENT vigil was held outside Friends Meeting House in Manchester this week to remember the victims of police pursuits.

On Tuesday evening, protesters held up photographs of people who died due to what organisers Northern Police Monitoring Project call the “systematic over-policing of racially minoritised and working-class young people” by road traffic officers.

Others carried candles and banners reading “GMP [Greater Manchester Police] have blood on their [hands]” and “End the violence.”
