hillsborough files to be opened « Result #7 on Apr 19, 2009, 5:19pm »
Secret Hillsborough disaster files to be made public by the Government
Kaya Burgess Hundreds of secret documents relating to the Hillsborough Disaster are to be made public for the first time, after the Home Secretary requested to waive the 30-year secrecy rule on their publication.
Crucial medical files, police reports and transcripts of high-level operational meetings could be among the documents released, finally allowing the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died at an FA Cup semi-final tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest to discover how events unfolded on April 15, 1989.
The Home Office today confirmed that Jacqui Smith had met with South Yorkshire’s chief constable Meredydd Hughes to discuss releasing the documents, ten years before their embargo is due to officially expire in 2019.
The families of the fans crushed to death in Britain’s deadliest footballing disaster have welcomed the decision.
Expert View
Mistakes happen, even fatal errors, but the subsequent cover-up is more insidious Tony Evans More Post a comment
It changed football’s landscape Hillsborough was a disaster that removed football’s squalor, complacency and inadequate safety arrangements for good
Voices from the Hillsborough tragedy Hillsborough: the disaster that changed football Background A Game Transformed Witness: I was told, 'Get the players off' Hillsborough; where the players are now Related Links Hillsborough deserves a judicial inquiry Liverpool player in Hillsborough shame Minister feels fans' anger at Anfield ceremony Multimedia Pictures: Hillsborough Disaster Trevor Hicks, of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, said: “We have heard that a request has been made and we are expecting confirmation this week.
“I am pleased, it’s better late than never. This will enable us to see the full picture of events in a way that we have been denied for 20 years.
“It is vital that these files are released in full and not sanitised in any way.”
The documents to be released could include the records of police and ambulance services who attended the disaster, and could also include minutes of a meeting held between then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and senior South Yorkshire police officers, which is believed to have taken place the following day.
Mr Hicks said: “We believe that a decision was made at that meeting that the police would not be blamed for what happened.
“We would like to see the minutes of the meeting, to know what the Prime Minister was told and what decisions were taken about the handling of any inquiries.”
Only one inquest was held about the disaster, which ruled that all those who died were dead - or brain dead - by 3.15pm and subsequently recorded a verdict of accidental death.
The victims’ families have strongly refuted this claim and have been campaigning for further inquiries to establish whether South Yorkshire Police failed to instigate a Major Incident Plan and whether fans in the Leppings Lane end of the stadium were denied emergency medical attention.
The call to release the documents comes after Culture Secretary Andy Burnham released a statement during ceremonies to mark the 20th anniversary of the disaster last Wednesday.
He said: “There is a case for full disclosure by any public body of any document previously unpublished which would shed light on the disaster and its aftermath. It is vital that we have transparency.”
Whitehall sources have said that Mr Burnham asked for the Home Secretary’s backing before making the statement, but said that no formal discussions had been held with the police or relevant authorities prior to that.
No timescale has been announced for the documents’ release, as talks will have to be held with the Ministry of Justice, the Attorney General’s office and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport before access can be granted to legal documents, which the victims’ families have asked to view before they are made public.
The 20th anniversary of the disaster was marked with ceremonies in Liverpool, Sheffield and Nottingham last week as calls were again made for further investigations into the circumstances surrounding the deaths and the response to the disaster as it unfolded.
Campaigners say it is an injustice that no individual or organisation has been held fully to account for the disaster.
Chants of “Justice for the 96” rang around Liverpool’s Anfield stadium on Wednesday, and Kevin Robinson, of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, has called for a full public inquiry into the disaster.
He said: “People have a right to know what happened to their loved ones.
“They went to watch a game of football and never came home. And for 20 years we’ve been campaigning to get that information out. That’s the least that can be done.”
Have your say
Tom London, educate yourself on causation. Had the police not allowed the gates to open or had they closed the tunnel off this would not have happened, the fans as stated by The Taylor Inquiry did not exacerbate the situation or cause death, the police did.
Laura, Nottingham, UK
why should the documents be kept secret, for what reason? there can only be something to hide if documents are secret. there should not be anything to hide with this tragic incident. all documents must be published. if anyone did wrong then prosecute them.
Dennis, Norwich, Norfolk
I always hear it was the polices fault, a lot of supporters forced thier way into a sold out football match without tickets, how they gained access is the question but this tactic was common, i have never heard from any fan who was pushing thier way in that day, did they contribute to this tragedy ?
the Prime Minister refused to be drawn, preferring instead to repeat his praise for the fans and the families who've acted in such a dignified way over the past 20 years.
I apologise in advance for anything that I might say that offends or shows me up for the narrow minded, conceited, humourless, arrogant, probably not as clever as he thinks he is individual that I am.

interview with gordon brown on Hillsborough « Result #9 on Apr 16, 2009, 5:34pm »
PRIME MINISTER: THE TRUTH ABOUT REDS FANS Paul Rogers 13 April 2009 Prime Minister Gordon Brown has spoken exclusively to LFC TV about his admiration for the 'magnificent' Liverpool fans who fought to save lives at Hillsborough and claimed those who attempted to blame them for the disaster had been proven wrong. Speaking ahead of Wednesday's anniversary of Britain's worst ever sporting disaster, the Prime Minister, a Raith Rovers supporter, was determined to let the city of Liverpool know that 20 years on, the country remains right behind the families who lost loved ones at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989, insisting:
The behaviour of fans was magnificent
Those who blamed fans were wrong
We can never forget the 96 people who died
Families deserve Freedom of the City
In obvious reference to one particular newspaper's disgraceful and now infamous front page attack on Liverpool supporters just four days after the disaster, Brown made a point of twice chastising those who tried to blame the very people who were doing most to save lives on the day.
"People will never forget that day; it's etched on our memories," Mr Brown told LFC TV, in an exclusive interview to be screened for the first time at 9pm tonight during a special edition of 'This is Anfield'. "I remember just hearing half hour by half hour the news as it came across from the Hillsborough stadium. It was then that I started to realise what a major disaster that this was. I also remember how the Liverpool fans helped each other, coming to the aid of people who were in difficulty and trying to rescue fellow fans - both young and old. I don't think we can ever forget the 96 people who died.
"I think that the families, in trying to cope with this disaster, have had the support of all decent minded people across the country. I think that's probably what matters most: that people understood that the behaviour of Liverpool fans in helping each other was, as I think the judge said, 'Magnificent'; that it was wrong for people to blame, as some did, Liverpool fans on that day and it's right that the Freedom of the City has been given to the families of Liverpool fans on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of this disaster."
When questioned on what he thought the legacy of the disaster was, Mr Brown again reiterated his point about how the actions of Liverpool supporters on the day were not just heroic but totally at odds with how they were portrayed in certain sections of the media following the disaster.
"I think people have learned first of all not to rush to instant judgements and some of the people who did rush to instant judgements have been proven wrong and that's why the Liverpool people are so respected throughout the country," he said. "The work that they did to help each other on that day and subsequent events when people had to help each other through the difficult times is something that will never be forgotten."
When quizzed in the interview to be shown later tonight on whether he thought there was a still a legal route open to the families in their continued search for justice or whether even an apology would go some way to help ease the pain and suffering of those who lost loved ones that day, the Prime Minister refused to be drawn, preferring instead to repeat his praise for the fans and the families who've acted in such a dignified way over the past 20 years.
"I feel that the best thing that we can do," claimed Mr Brown, "is say that the memories of these fans who died will always be in our minds, that the country understands the difficulties that people have gone through and that there is huge public support and affection for the families that have had to suffer so much. Let's never forget the fans that cruelly lost their lives on a day when we know the people of Liverpool were trying, if they were in that ground, to help each other and that's the spirit of Liverpool."
