On the anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, bereaved families and survivors gathered for a silent march to honor the 72 victims. With the tower's demolition planned, speakers emphasized their ongoing fight for justice, stating substantial changes have yet to occur, despite the tragedy being marked by negligence and institutional failure. Vice chairman of Grenfell United, Karim Mussilhy, expressed concerns over the government's decision to tear down the building, calling it an effort to make the tragedy disappear rather than seek accountability. The crowd's chants for justice underscored their continued struggle against indifference toward their loss.
"Eight years have passed, eight years since the fire lit by negligence, greed and institutional failure tore through our homes, our families and our hearts. And still no justice has come."
"The tower has stood not just as a reminder of what happened, but of what must change - a symbol and a truth in the face of denial, of dignity in the face of power."
