Remember TJ Hickey Rally Feb 14th

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 16/02/2011 - 1:38pm

The family and supporters of T J Hickey, an Aboriginal youth killed in Redfern in the course of a police pursuit (another death in custody that was whitewashed), thought they were going to have a small win and be allowed to have a plaque commemorating his death at the spot where he was killed. But the police are objecting to words describing his death which were taken straight from the death certicate. The truth, once again, is forbidden! This was a rally and march (on February 14, 2011) in Redfern to mark seven years since this killing.
