The death of Sarah Rose Denny

NDP leader Claudia Chender says a public review is required.
“We heard Minister Johns say something like, ‘we understand that Indigenous and African-Nova Scotian people are over-represented in the justice system and we are working on doing something about it,’” said Chender.
“I think the death of a young woman in custody absolutely calls for a public inquiry, so we join with the family and with other victims’ organizations in calling for that. Further, I think the minister needs to put his power where his mouth is and call for an inquiry so that we can begin to understand how a tragedy like this happened so it doesn’t happen again.”
