Vigil on the 2nd anniversary of the death of Wilfred Asham in custody
Written on September 2, 2009
Two years ago today, on September 2nd, 2007, Wilfred Asham died inside Winnipeg’s Public Safety Building under mysterious circumstances. His family is inviting community members out tonight to a vigil they’re holding on the second anniversary of his death.
Asham’s family have been looking for answers after the police failed to answer a number of questions around the death of this otherwise healthy nineteen-year-old, including how he came to have a seizure when he has no history of seizures, and how police account for his bruised face and altered nose.
The vigil takes place tonight from 9 to 11pm outside the Public Safety Building, at 151 Princess Street.
