In 1989, 96 people died and around 400 were injured at the Hillsborough football ground in Sheffield.
Although an inquiry has been set up and its report published, it did not expose the full facts of what
happened and, where it did, it did not see the facts for what they were - the systematic failure of the
police to carry out their duties properly, due to prejudice against working class football fans,
especially those from Liverpool.
The verdict of accidental death and the lack of any action against the officers involved flew in the face of overwhelming evidence collected from eyewitnesses and video tapes.
The families of those involved have been let down: first by many of the lawyers who initially represented them; second by the inadequate police investigative process whereby one police force, which is itself under investigation for corruption, investigates the actions of another police; third by the government, which promised a full and proper public inquiry into the disaster, but has since failed to deliver.
The families' fight for justice continues.
