On the 3rd of July 2009 the Justice for Habib ‘Paps’ Ullah campaign held a vigil and a public meeting to mark the first anniversary of his death.

The vigil outside High Wycombe Police Station from 3-7pm was attended by over 60 people over the four hours and was a opportunity publicly to profile the incident and the campaign and many leaflets were distributed down Queen Victoria Road outside the station to passers-by and to vehicles stopping. The highlight was 17 balloons being released by children and young people to mark the 17 deaths in custody that have taken place around the country since last July and this includes Habib’s death.*

The vigil will be outside High Wycombe Police Station between 3-7pm followed by a public meeting 7-9pm at the Hub behind the Union Baptist Church on Easton St – literally a few minutes walk from the Police station. We want a big crowd outside the Police station to support the family at this time.

Mussarat, his widow, their children and other members of their family will be present. We have invited speakers from other campaigns such as Janet Alder, sister of Christopher Alder who died more than 10 years ago in Hull Police station and representatives from the Sean Rigg Campaign and the newly formed United Campaign Against Police Violence as well as local speakers.
