Description

On the eve of his release from Feltham Young Offenders Institution, Zahid Mubarek, a young British Asian man, was attacked by his racist cellmate. One week later he died of his injuries.

How was this allowed to happen?

This new play traces the Mubarek family's pursuit of the truth. Based on evidence given to the Zahid Mubarek Inquiry and interviews taken, one of Britain's leading writers examines the incompetence of the official response to Zahid Mubarek's death.
