Listening When Institutions Won’t
The People’s Tribunal provides an independent public space where families can present evidence, experiences and testimony that has too often been overlooked by official processes.
Established with support from community partners, the Tribunal documents patterns of institutional failure and creates a permanent public record of cases involving deaths following police contact, detention and state care.
Over several days, witnesses, experts and bereaved relatives share their experiences before an independent panel.
The Tribunal seeks to:
- Amplify the voices of bereaved families
- Examine recurring institutional failures
- Promote public awareness
- Develop recommendations for meaningful reform
While it cannot replace legal accountability, it ensures that families are heard and that their evidence becomes part of the wider public conversation.
