Anniversary of Jill Phipps Death

It's been 12 years since Jill Phipps died:

On Wednesday 1 February 1995, 31 year old protester Jill Phipps was crushed to death under the wheels of an export truck carrying baby veal calves into Coventry Airport. Despite the fact that nearly 100 officers were on duty that day, 10 of the 33 protesters present had broken through police lines and attempted to bring the lorry to a halt by sitting on the road and attempting to chain themselves to it. Police on duty allowed the export lorry to continue making progress despite the clear safety problems. The vehicle was only halted by police once Jill had been crushed beneath the wheels.

On Saturday 3rd February, 8pm, there will be a screening of "Jill's Film" at the Howitzer Club, King William Street, Hillfields.
