In the wake of the FAI into the deaths of Katie Allan & William Lindsay, the Scottish government has just announced 1.The Scottish Prison Service will review its policy on items that can be used as ligatures, & the development of suicide prevention tech will be accelerated.

Positive response from Scottish Govt. Independent oversight & scrutiny of how this is translated into practice vital. Need to ensure processes are human rights compliant & enable bereaved people to uphold their rights & public authorities held to account. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2488…

1. Today has been the first time I have felt ready to go through the FAI determination in close detail. Sheriff Collins has written an exemplary determination and we sincerly thank him.

Full of respect and admiration for these families who have fought for truth for 6 years. The emotional toll placed on them is often overlooked and how others bereaved after state violence and neglect feel their pain as they see deaths repeated and no accountability or change.
INQUEST retweeted
2/2 None of the scrutiny or critical findings would have been exposed but for the determination of the families over 6 years to see justice for their loved ones against a backdrop of secrecy, delay, and denial. They deserve a legacy of action, systemic change & accountability.

Britain's Nuclear Bomb Scandal BBC2 20th November 9pm (UK Time)
Generations will be affected by the Nuclear Testing for hundreds of years according to research.
Steve Purse has lived his life in the Shadow of the Bomb due to his fathers service in Maralinga. He wants answers, but the UK Government refuse to study the children of the Nuclear Test Veterans.

Attended Parliamentary launch chaired by @KimJohnsonMP of @JENGbA report “ In Their Own Words”, compelling testimony on the impact on families, friends and communities of those imprisoned under joint enterprise. Evidence & insight on an ongoing injustice that cannot be ignored.

Great to see the fantastic @UNGRIPP receive the @LongfordTrust prize 2024. Recognition of their tireless campaigning that has raised awareness of the injustice of the IPP sentence and the human stories of those impacted.

ALT Morgan, a young mum with long blonde hair is stood side on to the camera at the beach. She wears a cream jumper and is cradling her newborn baby in a white baby grow/winter suit thing. The sky is blue and you can see the beach behind them. She is smiling with her eyes closed.
