On the 16th of March, 1972, Winston Trew, Sterling Christie, George Griffiths and Omar Boucher were heading home from a 'Fasimbas' meeting. When they arrived into Oval tube station, they were apprehended by a group of white men claiming to be police. Except no IDs were shown. A fight ensued, before the four men were framed for crimes that didn't happen and sentenced to two years in prison. Winston Trew tells Un:Just about that fateful day, which was just the prelude to a near fifty year fight for justice.
