Public Inquiry into the CROWD CRUSH at Brixton O2 Academy

On December 15th 2022 a crowd crush that occurred at the O2 Brixton Academy (the “Venue”) for the concert of the Nigerian musician Asake led to the deaths of two people, left one person in critical condition and many injured both physically and psychologically.

Black Protest Legal Support UK are calling for a public inquiry to establish:
What happened?
Why did it happen and who is to blame?
What must be done to prevent this from happening again?
How did the factor of race play into the response from the venue, the police, security staff and the media?

Why is this important?

On behalf of the people who have died, been injured and traumatised alongside the public, it is essential that we ensure this is not allowed to happen again and that the right people are held accountable for what went wrong that night.
