Sister of Montreal man who died while illegally jailed wants video footage released
Quebec’s Public Security Department has described Spring’s detention as “illegal” because he was ordered by a judge to be released on Dec. 23 but was still behind bars the next day when he suffered injuries leading to his death.
Now, she is calling on authorities to release any relevant video footage of the incident to her family, and said she wants the public to see it as well. One of her last memories, she said, was of him showing up to help carry an oven into her home, which she remembers because she knows how much he loved Carribbean food.Previous family statements have said Spring struggled with mental health issues, but his sister said Monday he was not “dangerous, aggressive, or harmful.”Click to share quote on Twitter: "He was very loving, very kind, very quiet," she said.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association says video footage exists, and that it should be released to the family. The organization is expected to address media at a news conference Tuesday morning.
