All UK citizens and residents on my f-list, could you please sign this petition: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/19149
Anne Williams has waited over 20 years to find out the truth about how her son died on April 15th 1989 in the crush that killed 96 people at Hillsborough football stadium in Sheffield. All she wants is a chance to get an inquest into her son's death at Hillsborough, independent from the cut-off time that was put in place back then. All evidence of anything that happened after then has been ignored because it was decided everyone had died before 3.15 pm on the day, but she has evidence that her son was still alive after that point that has never been heard. She has been denied the right to justice for so long. If she gets enough signatures on this petition her son's case will get a hearing to determine whether she will get a new inquest. I can't sign it myself, because I'm not from or live in the UK, so I'm asking for help from my friends to do it for me. Even those of you who can't sign, please spread the word to people you know who can. She needs over 80,000 signatures by Thursday, and that's a big ask so she needs all the help she can get.
