The state finally yielded to the undeniable pressure we applied to force them into these roundtable consultations. While this victory marks a significant crack in their wall of indifference we will keep the heat on to ensure these discussions turn into actual structural change.

Towards a: National Afrikan People’s Parliament

Petition to Prime Minister/Government

 

 

We the undersigned condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the unlawful killing of Mark Duggan, and the disingenuous, draconian, kneejerk reaction of the Prime Minister/government to the resultant uprisings. We further condemn state violations of the legal process and human rights, evident in fast track trials, excessive sentencing, housing evictions and cancellation of social benefits. We contend that the said reaction of the PM/government prompted a racist mass media offensive, which gave rise to incitement of racial hatred and violence and the mobilisation of the ‘far-right’ against Afrikan (Black) communities across Britain. We thus demand:

    1. The immediate suspension and arrest of the officers who killed Mark Duggan;
    2. An immediate end to the PM/government’s blinkered, short sighted, emotive approach; and
    3. That the PM/government addresses the real underlying causes of this chain of events in roundtable consultations with the Afrikan (Black) community; which are:
    • Black deaths in custody;
    • Police harassment;
    • Social exclusion and deprivation;
    • Economic exclusion and marginalisation.

The government thought they could bury the truth about Mark Duggan and ignore our suffering but this momentum proves they cannot silence us anymore. They are finally feeling the heat from our collective outrage and refusal to accept their racist policies. Keep pushing because they need to know we are not going anywhere until they answer for these crimes.

Total corruption. They treat us like animals then wonder why the streets are on fire.

Fix the root cause instead of just sending in more riot police. This cycle has to break.

The government needs to listen to the people instead of just locking everyone up.
