About this event
On behalf of the Sikh Education Forum, we are launching Mrs Sukhdev Reel’s publication, our aim is the help raise awareness of Ricky Reel.
On 14 October 1997 Ricky Reel went missing following a racist attack in Kingston upon Thames. His three friends, who had also been racially abused, were able to regroup but Ricky never did. Seven days later Ricky’s body was found at the bottom of the River Thames, just metres away from where the boys had been abused. He was only 20 at the time.
25 years later, no one has been charged with Ricky’s death yet his own family were spied upon by undercover police officers.
Ricky Reel’s mother Mrs Sukhdev Reel has been campaigning for the last 25 years, in her book she tells her story.
The book shows the strength of a family who despite all odds continues to fight for justice. The book is a must-read and signed copies will be available on the day.
The purchase price is £10.00.
Mrs Reel and other notable dignitaries will be addressing and engaging with the audience.
