TL;DR Summary

Jenni and Trevor Hicks, who lost daughters Victoria (15) and Sarah (19) in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, have launched a campaign to amend official court records that wrongly claimed the victims died within minutes. New medical and inquest evidence showed they were conscious for longer, but South Yorkshire Police has refused to consent to a fresh hearing. The couple will push for a mechanism to correct inaccurate records at a Westminster event, describing it as potentially their last legal bid for truth and for accountability for all who died that day.
