In light of recent revelations that South Yorkshire Police fabricated and duplicated statements in relation to Hillsborough and Orgreave, David Hamilton MP and I have written to Lothian and Borders Police and justice Minister Kenny McAskill asking for a full and independent review of all cases of Miners arrested in Scotland during the strike. I would urge as many people as possible add their voice to this campaign.
We need to make sure there are no unsafe convictions or miscarriages of justice in Scotland.
For more information read the Scotsman article Plea for Kenny McAskill to wipe slate clean for striking miners
If anyone knows people who were arrested and charged on fabricated evidence please get in touch with me [EMAIL="neil.findlay.msp@scottish.parliament.uk"]neil.findlay.msp@scottish.parliament.uk
