First Nations and advocates echo calls for more transparency into in-custody deaths
An independent researcher is calling for greater transparency around deaths in police custody in B.C., saying they disproportionately affect Indigenous people.
Leonard Cler-Cunningham, a researcher who has documented the deaths of Indigenous people in custody for decades and co-authored research into violence against sex workers in Vancouver, held a news conference Tuesday to launch the Not In The Public Interest website.
It contains statistics relating to in-custody deaths, and videos of previous deaths involving Indigenous people.
He says the website’s title draws from one of the reasons that his numerous freedom of information requests regarding in-custody deaths were denied — that the requests were “not in the public interest.”
