NINETY-SIX football fans were unlawfully killed as a result of the Hillsborough disaster. After 32 years, the hope that justice and accountability would follow the truth was recently snatched away when a judge ruled there was “no case to answer” against the police and their solicitor.
Throughout this the Hillsborough survivors and families have been tormented and silenced by the British judicial system and media. We also learned that police notebooks from the disaster were discovered at South Yorkshire Police HQ in 2018 more than four years after the then Tory home secretary Theresa May had told police to disclose documents relating to the disaster previously unseen by investigators. How much more information is being hidden?
We will never have the full truth about Hillsborough until we get the truth about Orgreave.
