Fans March To Demand Hillsborough Arrests
Families of Hillsborough victims have marched on Downing Street to demanding a fresh criminal investigation into the tragedy.
Fans pay tribute at the 20th anniversary of the tragedy
The march, organised by the March4Justice campaign, delivered a petition with more than 39,000 signatures.
It asks the Prime Minister to investigate whether criminal charges can be brought against those responsible for the tragedy.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans were crushed to death at Hillsborough during an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest 20 years ago.
The petition was handed in by five relatives of the dead and survivor Steve Hart.
Margaret Aspinall, who lost her 18-year-old son James in the tragedy, said: "We have waited 20 years for the truth - that is 20 years too long.
"What this is all about for us is the release of police and emergency service documents which are what will help us understand what happened that day.
"There are probably 800 boxes of documents alone which have not been seen - it sickens me that these have not yet been handed over."
In addition to calls for an investigation, campaigners want the authorities to recognise that not all the victims were dead by 3.15pm.
They are also calling for the release of 300 boxes of information on the tragedy that have been kept from the public eye.
If the files are not released early, they will not become public for another decade.
