Deaths in Custody protestors will march outside Parliament House today.

Protestors want justice for Aboriginal elder, Mr Ward, who died while being transported in the back of a van, two years ago.

And it’s not an isolated case.

Last week a 33-year-old man died in police custody and yesterday prisoner James Yarren passed out in the back of a van much like the one Mr Ward in which Mr Ward was travelling.

The Deaths in Custody Watch Committee’s Mark Newhouse spoke to Travis Collins on Morning Magazine.
