Calls for a “Hillsborough law” to rebalance the UK’s justice system and ensure fairer treatment for bereaved families will be made at a high-profile event on Friday.
The Hillsborough Law Now summit will be co-hosted by the mayors of Greater Manchester and Liverpool, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, and will have speakers who include representatives of bereaved families from tragedies past and present.
It has been timed to build on the extra awareness of the issue, which has been revived by the powerful ITV drama Anne that tells the story of Anne Williams’ fight for justice for her teenage son Kevin. The actor Maxine Peake, who played Williams, is expected at the event, which will be livestreamed on Facebook.
