Website dedicated to ‘shoot to kill’ victims

CAMPAIGNERS in Ireland are to launch a website dedicated to victims of police ‘shoot-to-kill’ policies beginning with a Brazilian who was shot dead by London detectives last month.

Jean Charles de Menezes died at Stockwell Tube Station, south London, on July 23 after anti-terrorism officers mistook him for a suicide bomber. Up to 30 people, including members of Ireland’s 5,000-strong Brazilian community, attended a peaceful protest outside the British Embassy in Dublin on Thursday evening.

Organiser, Brazilian Gustavo Barbosa said he now intends to set up an Irish-hosted website dedicated to victims of ‘shoot-to-kill’ policies by police.
