The People’s Tribunal on Police Killings are making a national call out to any families whose loved ones have died at the hands of the police or after contact with the police.


The Tribunal has been established to unify the struggles taking place, create a platform for justice and take direct action.


For more information visit www.peoples-tribunal.org/about

In the last year the PTPK has:


  • Engaged a team of 15 volunteers from activist, academic and media backgrounds who have been investigating a number of cases and gathering the documentation that will be presented to the Tribunal Panel
  • Engaged with Expert Witnesses who will support the families
  • Forensically examined a number of killings by the police who were killed through use of violence as well as other factors
  • Commenced preparation for the Tribunal scheduled for the end of 2024
  • Commenced preparation for the long term actions that will take place to follow the Tribunal

The PTPK is run by families for families, and we are reaching out to any families that want to get involved in the Tribunal as it moves into the next stage either as a participant, organiser or supporter.
