STUC unites behind Sheku Bayoh's family as fight for justice continues

THE STUC has united behind the family of Sheku Bayoh as their fight for justice continues.

Mr Bayoh died in police custody in 2015 of asphyxiation when he was cuffed at the hands and ankles after being batoned to the ground and physically restrained by six police officers.

The aftermath of the incident led the outgoing chief constable of Police Scotland to admit his force was “institutionally racist” —  a position also held by his successor Jo Farrell as the public inquiry into Mr Bayoh’s death continues.
