Figen Murray , in Hinckley, Leicestershire, as she continues her campaign march to Downing Street to demand the introduction of Martyn’s Law for stronger protections against terrorism in public places
Ms Murray says she is hoping to meet Rishi Sunak when she arrives at Downing Street on May 22, the seventh anniversary of her son’s death, to call for the implementation of Martyn’s Law.The law, named in tribute to the 29-year-old who was one of 22 people killed at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in 2017, would require venues and local authorities in the UK to have training requirements and preventative plans against terror attacks.
“The draft legislation doesn’t save any lives, so the reason we are all joining is partly because we are inspired by Figen, but also to demand that Government fulfils its promises. “Until that legislation is implemented, the loophole that has cost so many people their lives, is still there.” Ms Murray said she has received “loads of support” from people who have joined parts of her walk, adding that she has been “almost too lucky” with the weather.She told PA that it was time for Mr Sunak to “keep his promise” to put the legislation forward.
