Grenfell community unified in steps toward justice

Samia Badani, who organised a community screening of Sir Martin’s inquiry remarks at the Maxilla Social Club, said it had laid the “first steps” towards “accountability and justice”.

“[The inquiry] gave us the truth, but it did not give us justice. It has given our community, Grenfell United, those fighting for justice, the means to hold those responsible accountable,” she said.

Francis Dean, who lost his close friend Zainab Deen and her two-year-old son Jerimiah in the fire, said seeking justice for them would be his focus.

“Somebody has to be responsible. Even if it’s the whole lot of them, they have to be responsible for it,” he added.
