London, UK. 28th October 2017. Ajibola Lewis, the mother of Olaseni Leiws, killed by police in 2010 speaks at the United Families and Friends Campaign rally at Downing St . His inquest found that “excessive force, pain compliance techniques and multiple mechanical restraints” used by police on Lewis “were disproportionate and unreasonable” and were likely to have led to his death from a hypoxic brain injury and cardiorespiratory arrest. The family want the Crown Prosecution Service to reconsider the case, so that the officers involved in the restraint may be brought to answer for their actions
