There must be a public inquiry into 7/7

Mr. Mohammed Shafiq, Chief Executive of the Ramadhan Foundation comments:

"As the inquests into the victims of the 7/7 terrorist attacks begins, the Ramadhan Foundation once again calls for politicians to agree to a fullpublic inquiry into the evil terrorism that struck London. I pay tribute to the victims and their families for their strength during these difficult years but now we owe them the answers to their questions.

We condemn the decision not to award the victim's families legal aid, thisdecision beggars belief, the corrupt MPs get legal aid but these brave families are refused, we ask the Ministry of Justice to have some compassion.

We learn from the inquest that the Metropolitan Police were slow to react tothe attacks and maybe the attacks could have been avoided if security services had reacted as they knew of at least two bombers, this in itself proves the need for action.

We urge political parties to agree to a full public inquiry after the general election and urge the British people to lobby their candidates in this election, the victims and their families deserve better.

END
