A Blow for Menezes' Family

Jean Charles de Menezes came from a very poor family back in Brazil. As in the case of many Malaysians and Filipinos, his parents had depended upon him for financial support. His death was a monumental blow to them.

His family has refused to accept the apologies of the British authorities. His father bewailed: "It's all over for me. I hope the police officers will be punished because they killed an innocent person. I cannot forgive them at all."

His cousin called the British police what many Americans have been calling their cops,
”pigs”!
