A LOT of media here at the #JusticeForSoli Vigil.
Good.
Soleiman's brother Yusuf says this will be the last vigil.
Desmond Cole points out that the police have investigated Soleiman's death THREE TIMES ALREADY and managed not to see any problem with what happened.
And now we have to ask THEM to investigate for a fourth time.
They are PART of the fucked up system.

A public vigil is being held Saturday night to mark the seventh anniversary of the death of Soleiman Faqiri.
The event, being held at Yonge-Dundas Square, comes just days after a coronerโs inquest deemed the death of the mentally ill man at an Ontario jail a homicide.
Lawyers for the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, which represents correctional staff, wanted his death to be ruled accidental.

Four different stuff I hope you're supposed to understand.
