News from the Campaign

The children and wife of Habib ‘Paps’ Ullah have send a birthday card for Habib to the Area commander and all Officers at the Police station.

Yesterday a few members of the campaign with the children, wife & mother of Habib went to the station (see new photos on Facebook page) to deliver the card with the message below:

‘We would have send this card to our Dad Habib this year. He would have been 40 years old today the December 20th 2008. We are very sad about what happened to him and it has been a very difficult time for us since July. Our Mum is still very upset and has found it diffifcult to cope. We have now gone through two Eids without him, his birthday and will now be without him this Christmas & New Year. On January 3rd it will be exactly six months since he was taken away from us.

News from the Campaign

The Justice for Habib ‘Paps’ Ullah held a successful candle-lit vigil on Wednesday 3rd December to mark going into the sixth month since his death.

Between 30-40 people attended in freezing conditions (-3 to -5), lit loads of candles and gave out postcards to people passing by on foot and in cars.

Habib’s brother, his mother and two of his children attended and we were particularly pleased to have Jules Carey, the family solicitor and Harmit Atwal from the Institute of Race Relations attend.

The public meeting at Bucks New University attracted 25-30 people and family & campaign members spoke as well as the solicitor. Raja, Habib’s brother told the meeting his brother’s death was taking it’s toll on Mother’s Hamida Begum. He said ‘The whole family is devastated and still can’t come to terms with it and get their heads straight’. Zia talked about setting up a committee to support the campaign over the long hard years ahead.
