Hillsborough families say ‘we’ll never get justice’ as police escape punishment despite report’s findings – live

AI Summary

long article 19 min

Families of the 97 victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster are expressing outrage and a sense of injustice after a report revealed that no police officers will face disciplinary action for their roles in the tragedy and subsequent cover-up. The report details fundamental failures by South Yorkshire Police, including lying, abuse of authority, and neglect, with 110 cases identified by a watchdog. Relatives of the deceased feel repeatedly let down, citing tampered police statements and a lack of accountability. The Home Secretary acknowledged the Hillsborough killings as one of the most significant failings in UK policing history. Families believe that due to the passage of time, justice will never be served for the deaths of their loved ones at the FA Cup semi-final match in Sheffield.
