Yesterday we buried my baby cousin, Anu Abraham. Anu was a 21 y/o student police officer. He took his own life on 3rd March. Our family want to make clear: we feel the institutionally racist culture & bullying he experienced, killed him. More from @KidsOfColourHQ:
📣 PLEASE READ 📣 With @npolicemonitor we share this statement on behalf of Anugrah Abraham and his family. Please note, this heartbreaking case includes reference to suicide, police abuse and Anu’s death, aged 21. Please read and share in solidarity: https://t.co/jxiuN4zGDl
