Silent Walk for Justice in Scotland

Friday, 28 November 2008

 

Marchers taking part in the event are expected to meet at  Johnston Terrace which is near Edinburgh Castle, before being led down the Royal Mile by a lone piper to the Scottish Parliament.
There, they will all place pictures of their loved ones, and light candles, before holding a minute's silence.


 

They are also hoping to meet Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill, to hand over information on their cases.

The event has been organised by Guje Borjesson, 54, who has been campaigning for justice over the death of her daughter Annie.

The 30-year-old, who had been working at the Scottish Whisky Heritage Centre on the Royal Mile, was found washed up on Prestwick beach in December 2004.

Police later said she had either taken her own life or died as the result of an accident, but her mother has refused to accept the findings and is pressing the authorities to reopen the case.

Annie's best friend, Maria Jansson, 41, said: "Our hope is that by coming together, helping each other, sharing knowledge and experiences, we can all learn something.

"The main issue is not for Annie, it is for all the people. We have only one focus, that the truth will come out and justice will be done."

Some of the cases represented are

William Gage.

Patrick Docherty

Wullie Beck.
