Mother of Manchester Arena bomb victim plans walk to Downing Street to demand new law

Arena bombing victim is to walk from the venue to Downing Street to demand the introduction of a law to create stronger protections against terrorism in public places., who was one of 22 people killed in a suicide bombing at the arena in May 2017.

On 7 May, she will walk from the spot where her son was killed to Downing Street, arriving on 22 May – the seventh anniversary of his death. “No parent should have to experience the pain and loss I’ve felt and I truly believe we have an opportunity to make public spaces safer and more secure by introducing Martyn’s Law,” she said.

“This year marks the seventh anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack and rather than spending time at home with my family celebrating Martyn’s life, I’ll be walking from the Manchester Arena to 10 Downing Street to hand-deliver a letter to the Prime Minister.”Last year, a draft of the new law was criticised by the Commons Home Affairs Committee.
