Campaign groups unite to demand legislation holding public and corporate bodies accountable for deaths
People take part in a silent walk near Grenfell Tower in London, June 14, 2024, in remembrance of those who died in the Grenfell Tower fire on June 14, 2017
MORE than 40 organisations united today to demand new laws to hold public and corporate bodies accountable for deaths they cause.
Seven years after the Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people, and two years after the Covid-19 pandemic, which killed more than 232,000, no organisations have been held accountable for the lives lost.
Campaign groups Grenfell United, Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice and Inquest are among the coalition demanding new laws.
