Councillors in Barnsley urge government rethink over Orgreave inquiry

Even the Independent Police Complaints Commission report about Orgreave alleges evidence of uncontrolled violence and perjury by police officers. Many of the arrested 95 miners were brutally attacked and seriously injured by the police on 18 June 1984 then arrested and charged with riot offences that could have resulted in a life sentence. It seems that the Home Secretary refuses to recognise the impact her decision has had on many of our residents who feel they are being denied justice.
