I will be speaking at Nottingham university on 15 May about the jean Charles de Menezes case - it features in my book, Sister in Law, and in the excellent four part film, Suspect - now streaming on Disney Channel t.co/afaHAqbBHj

Looking forward to this dramatisation of the de Menezes story- I learnt a great deal about the politics of policing when advising the family in their search for truth and justice. I have written about it this battle in my book, ‘Sister in Law’ www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

Pleased to see the screening of this important drama telling the story of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes on the tube 20 years ago - I write about my own involvement supporting the family campaign for justice in my book 'Sister in Law' www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
