Campaign Briefing
The Friends of Mikey Powell Campaign
for Justice was established by the
family of Michael Lloyd Powell (known
as Mikey), following his death whilst
in Police custody.
Mikey was 38 years old and a father
of three young children. He had never
been in trouble with the authorities
and was well known and respected within his community. He would, (although this was on extremely
rare occasions), be prone to bouts
of depression; and on the night
in question one of these
episodes occurred.
Mikey died on 7th September 2003, in police custody in Handsworth, Birmingham. He had been arrested outside his mother's house in
the Lozells area of the city.
