Inquests into Hillsborough tragedy

Inquests into the Hillsborough tragedy refer to formal investigations into the deaths of 96 football fans caused by overcrowding at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield. These investigations aimed to determine the causes and circumstances of each death, establish accountability, and address public concerns about police actions and safety failures. Over the years, inquests faced delays, but new inquiries ultimately confirmed that many victims were unlawfully killed due to police mismanagement and highlighted systemic issues. The inquests sought to deliver answers and justice for the victims and their families.
