List of deaths

Imagine your 15 years old son just went to a party to celebrate the name day of his friend and never returns because a police officer shot him, or your friend who sold newspapers close to a demonstration, gets beaten up by police men causing his death. From the police and in the mainstream media we then hear about “isolated cases”, often the victims get even discredited, after a short time its all forgotten and everyone returns to his/her daily routine, including the responsible police men, who almost never get charged for their killings!

The following list is to remember all the deaths, to tell them by their name, to make visible and remember that they are not “isolated cases” and to make clear to the responsible instituations that we don’t want to forget about them!
