The end of a hugely emotional day at the #spycops inquiry, hearing from the family of murdered youth Ricky Reel. These families were subjected to sustained intrusive spying because exposure of police racism is damaging to the police's image. (@copscampaign.bsky.social)

Just got to #Middlesbrough, on my way to Cafe Etch to talk about #spycops tonight. The weather is a little inhospitable, so I am hoping the rain doesn't put people off! (@kx-w.bsky.social)

"We are no longer being watched, we are watching"
@sukhdev_reel told the #spycops Inquiry today during incredibly powerful testimony from the Reel family.I highly recommend listening to the recordings, although it is incredibly painful to hear in ...

A standing ovation for Sukhdev and Tish Reel, as they complete their evidence to the #spycops inquiry with a very moving, emotional statement about their fight for justcie over the past 28 years. (@copscampaign.bsky.social)

Just before the hearing at the #spycops inquiry ends a voice in public gallery shouts out at John Mitting "Call Dave Hagan" (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:48 PM
John Mitting says that when he met Sukhdev Reel in 2018, he had not read the documents he now has. He says he now knows he must resolve the issue of 'collateral intrusion' and is determined to get to the bottom of it. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)

Sukhdev Reel says that her family life has been dominated by court hearings and hospital visits for 28 years. The police feared the campaign because it highlighted their failings. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)

Sukhdev Reel thanks John Mitting for giving her the opportunity and everyone came to support. She says the impact of the #spycops has been devastating. She has insomnia, panic attacks and constant anxiety. Her children lost their brother, but also the mother she used to be ...

Tish Reel goes through all the horrific ways the police failed the family in the aftermath of Ricky's murder. How much racism they dealt with. The evidence lost, ignored and even destroyed. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Tish Reel says they don't trust many people any more, they certainly don't trust the police. But they do trust Suresh Grover. That should say a lot. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Tish Reel is very clear, that we as families can and have spoken for themselves and run their own campaigns and any suggestion to the contrary is insulting. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Tish Reel points out, not only did the police lie to their face about the extent of #spycops infiltration of the family in July 2014, they did not contact the family or make any public statement at any point. They just managed the public relations. (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:18 PM
At no point at the meeting in 2014 did the police admit that there had been direct contact between a #spycops officer and Sukhdev Reel. Despite knowing this was the case. (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:18 PM
There was no communication with the Reel family about the contact between #spycops officer Hn81 Dave Hagan and Sukhdev Reel until the document was disclosed by the Inquiry. (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Detective Sergeant Craddock said at the meeting with the Reels that he hoped the revelations would reassure the family that they were not subject to infiltration. Sukhdev says it did not. #spycops (@tombfowler.bsky.social)

November 26, 2025 at 3:08 PM
Sukhdev Reel says she is too angry to address this question. She points out they had a vigil outside Scotland Yard around the time of this note. Commissioner Cordon refused to meet her, then only a 4 minute meeting, he didn't need to, he had his #spycops spying on her. ...
November 26, 2025 at 3:08 PM
Another Special Branch #spycops note from 10 September 1998 mentions the Justice For Ricky Reel campaign, it talks about Sukhdev's public speaking and hunger strike. It was also passed on to D/AC John Grieve and the Commissioner himself (@tombfowler.bsky.social)

On the bus home after listening to the brave, dignified, honest testimony of Sukhdev & Tish Reel, mother & sister of Ricky, murdered in a racist attack in 1997. Now today in 2025 forced to give evidence at the #spycops inquiry after being spied on by the investigating Met ...
November 26, 2025 at 2:57 PM
That is the end of the questions for Sukhdev and Tish Reel from the consul to the #spycops inquiry. We now have a break to see if there are any further rule 10 questions. After which the Reel's lawyer James Wood KC will re-examine. (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
November 26, 2025 at 2:47 PM
The #spycops officer HN81 Dave Hagan attended one of the Ricky Reel Memorial lectures and he spoke extensively to Sukhdev Reel's brother, asking lots of questions. Clear sign of targeting. No record of any report. (@tombfowler.bsky.social)
