Saturday 14 February 2015 marked the 11th anniversary of the death in custody of TJ Hickey in Redfern. He died as a direct result of the actions of the Redfern Police. No police have been charged over Hickey's death and his family are still waiting for justice. The family was determined to march through central Sydney to make clear that they are still waiting for justice and to convey the message that without justice, there can be no peace. Outrageously, the NSW Police refused the highly visible march route and tried to limit the march to a short route and keep the protest contained within Redfern. The march went ahead with a very heavy police presence.
