The Death March, Oct 2005

"The top of the procession had reached Woodford Square now, and the ceremony outside the Red House had begun. I pushed through the crowd. Three hundred volunteers, representing the year's tally (thus far) of murder victims, were dressed in white, their heads covered with black hoods. One by one they lay down on a long sheet of red cloth, stretching up Abercromby Street; their wrists were bound by a single strip of red cloth. Then one by one they got up again, and removed their hoods."
