What people say about INQUEST

I think the shock of the death stops you thinking or taking all the details in. If I had been told about the right to a second post-mortem again after a few days, I would probably have liked one done. — Family of a woman who died in prison

INQUEST was announced on 10 December 2007 as joint winner of the Human Rights Award alongside Kids Company. The award was in recognition of the organisation’s “high-quality specialist casework [on deaths in custody] and … commitment to providing incontrovertible evidence of the serious human rights abuses of children in custody“. The Human Rights Awards are held by Liberty and JUSTICE to commemorate Human Rights Day.
