At a vigil to mark the three years since Mark Duggan was shot by police, Carole Duggan made an appeal for fresh witnesses to come forward.

The Justice for Mark Duggan campaign made the appeal directly to the campaign, giving a campaign phone number on posters that have been posted around the area where Mark was shot. Carole Duggan said “If you don’t want to speak to the IPCC, who we know are not fit for purpose, we have a hotline number where you can speak to any member of the campaign.”

There is good reasons for campaigns talking over evidence and witness reports together prior to going to the police. This allows campaigners to discuss and decide the best approach to the police, and how to respond if the police do not use the evidence as we wish. After the death of Ian Tomlinson at the hands of police officers during G20 protests in London in 2009, campaigners discussed with witnesses in this way.
