EXCERPT:
Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old Briton who died in police custody in December, got a death sentence for a thoughtcrime he never committed.
Newly released bodycam footage of Nowak’s arrest shows police arriving at a residential driveway to find Nowak bleeding on the ground. A Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa, who would eventually be convicted of fatally stabbing Nowak with a blade that only Sikhs are allowed to carry in Britain, falsely claimed to police that Nowak had treated him with racial animus. Evidently believing Digwa’s accusations but not Nowak’s cries for help, the police rolled Nowak’s limp body over and placed handcuffs on his wrists. In response to his repeated pleas for treatment of his stab wounds, police can be heard telling him, “I don’t think you have [been stabbed], mate.” He died moments after police read him his rights as an accused criminal.
