Demand Justice for Mulrunji

Mourn for the death of justice in Queensland
Rally, 12:30 pm Friday 22 June Steps of the old GPO (Bourke St Mall) Speak out and march to State Parliament Wear black or indigenous colours more info: Land lines 9639-8622 or 9388-0062 | Cheryl 0401-806-331 | Sean: 0428-160-661 "The acquittal of Snr-Sgt Chris Hurley - despite him admitting he caused Mulrunji's death, despite him changing his story, despite overwhelming medical evidence likening Mulrunji's fatal injuries to a high-speed car crash - is the lowest point in Australia's judicial system for Aboriginal people," said Aboriginal leader and Socialist Alliance Indigenous spokesperson Sam Watson, in response to the not guilty verdict in the manslaughter trial of Hurley. "The police rallied around their own, fixed their story of 'a complicated accident', and the 12-member non-Indigenous jury agreed," Watson continued. "This jury decision has sanctioned the unlawful death of an Aboriginal person in police custody." "The fact that the life an Aboriginal person was worth less than four hours consideration by the jury reinforces Townsville - named after one of the last slave owners Robert Towns - as a centre of anti-Aboriginal prejudice." |
