Who we are

On the 22nd July 2005 Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by police at Stockwell tube station. He was shot 8 times, 7 times in the head. Following his death, the police deliberately misled Jean Charles’ family and the public about his death.

The Jean Charles de Menezes family campaign was founded by the friends and family of Jean Charles to:

• Find out the truth about Jean Charles’ death
• Bring all those responsible for his death to justice
• Campaign to end the ‘shoot to kill’ policy and prevent a similar tragedy happening again

We are calling for

• A speedy conclusion to the Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation
• Appropriate criminal charges to be bought against those responsible
• And a full judicial public inquiry to investigate
  - The police operation that led to the killing of Jean Charles
  - The actions of the police following Jean Charles’ death
  - the ‘shoot-to-kill’ policy

The campaign is led by the Menezes family and with support from justice and civil rights campaigners. The campaign is not affiliated to any political party.
