Arrow Hillsborough Disaster: Commons debate after e-petition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...yside-15330776

Quote:
Calls for the full release of documents relating to the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster in which 96 Liverpool fans died are to be debated by MPs later.

The debate was triggered by an e-petition which gathered the support of more than 139,000 people.

Families of the victims have long called for the release of 40,000 documents relating to events at the FA Cup semi-final match and its aftermath.

The government has said it is committed to "full public disclosure".

Ninety-five supporters died on 15 April 1989 when a crush developed in the caged pens at the Leppings Lane end of the stadium, which is home to Sheffield Wednesday.

The 96th victim was in a coma for three years following the match against Nottingham Forest, and died in 1992.

In the immediate aftermath blame was attributed to various groups, most notably the fans themselves, however an inquiry under Lord Justice Taylor focussed attention on the design of football grounds and the actions of the police.
The truth is out there .....
