Justice for Mr. Ward
Worksafe WA has announced that they will recommend charges be laid against those that are responsible for the death of Aboriginal man, Mr. Ward, on 26 January 2008.
Mr Ward died after being transported in the back of a prisoner transit vehicle for four hours across Western Australia. The coronial inquest returned a scathing finding, saying that the airconditioning in the back compartment wasn’t working and that Mr. Ward was probably sitting in temperatures of more than 50 degrees, that he had suffered 3rd degree burns when his skin came into contact with a hot metal surface of the van, and prison officers did not follow protocol by stopping for refreshments.
The WA Deaths in Custody Watch Committee welcomes the announcement by Worksafe WA, but remains critical of the Department of Public Prosecutions.
