Silent March: Stop Aboriginal Deaths in Custody

Yesterday around 40 people in 2 groups of 20 (to adhere to COVID-19 laws) walked from Circular Quay to Sydney Town Hall in a silent march to commemorate Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.

This march drew particular attention to the deaths of John Pat and Wayne Fella Morrison, who died in custody on the 28th of September in 1983 and the 26th of September 2016 respectively.

Well over 400 Aboriginal people have died in custody since the recommendations of the Royal Commission were handed down in 1991.

The latest victim - the death of Aunty Sherry Fisher-Tilberoo - occurred in a Brisbane City watchhouse just earlier this month.
