The undercover policing inquiry should investigate whether Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, was targeted by undercover officers, according to a new report.
Fresh Evidence of Targeting
The report, published by the campaign group Spies Out Of Lives, presents evidence suggesting that Doreen Lawrence may have been monitored by undercover police officers in the aftermath of her son's murder in 1993.
The group says it has obtained documents and testimony indicating that police spies were deployed in communities and organisations linked to the Lawrence family's campaign for justice.
Calls for Full Inquiry
The report urges the Undercover Policing Inquiry to broaden its remit to examine whether Doreen Lawrence was specifically targeted, arguing that such a move would be in the public interest.
It highlights the importance of establishing the full extent of undercover policing tactics used against the Lawrence family and their supporters.
The inquiry, which has been running for several years, has already heard evidence about the use of undercover officers in political and community groups. The new report adds to mounting pressure for a thorough investigation into the treatment of the Lawrence family.
