Sharma Solomon presiding over the meeting

Suing the state for compensation and filing civil charges against the policemen involved in last year’s Linden shooting are options for the families of those who were fatally shot as well as those who were wounded during the protest in the mining town last year.

These issues are expected to be discussed when a number of legal minds meet with the families of those killed in the July 18, 2012 shooting and those injured on that day and two other incidents afterwards to discuss the way forward as they seek justice, Region 10 Chairman Sharma Solomon disclosed yesterday.
