Christopher Alder: Hull BLM protest continues the fight for justice

Hundreds took to the streets of Hull to fight for justice for Christopher Alder.

Christopher died on the floor of a police station in Hull in 1998.

The long fight to get justice has seen Janet, his sister, become the subject of police harassment as they investigated her for having the audacity to persist with a determined campaign to uncover the truth.

Hideous video footage from the Queens Gardens police station in where Christopher was killed, showed police officers standing around laughing and making money noises while Christoper, an ex British paratrooper, died in front of them.

Such was the neglect and downright obstruction of the authorities, they even released for burial the wrong body, rubbing salt into the wounds of the family.

Christopher’s sister Janet Alder speaking at today’s protest said: “I keep coming back and go over Christopher’s story, until people make a change.

Although an inquest found that Christoper was unlawfully killed, more than twenty years no-one has been held to account for it.
