An unknown graffiti writer has just finished a mural on Atlantic
road, Brixton, depicting local people who have tragically died at the
'hands' of the police...
The mural was apparently painted both in remembrance of these brothers and sister, and as a reminder of ongoing campaigns for justice, relating to deaths in all forms of institutional custody.
Who is in the mural?
