Black people are still not seen as deserving justice, while police officers in the UK’s capital are able to act with near-impunity, Doreen Lawrence has said, as the 30th anniversary of the racist murder of her son approaches.
Stephen Lawrence was killed in a racist attack by a gang at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, in 1993. Two men were convicted of the murder in 2012 but others remain free.
