Did anyone hold Henry's hand, tell him they were there with him. That it would be Okay, that God loves him? Did they pray with him? Comfort him? Did they protect him from his attackers slander or from threat of more abuse as he died? No, they fucking did not. They instead laughed as he died, mocked Henry and made jokes with and comforted and assured his murderer.
Henry died in the most Inhumane and undignified way possible. He was beaten, stabbed, kidnapped, dragged across the gravel and humiliated, mocked and berated as a "racist" as he died. Being shot and kicked into a ditch by a death squad would have been more dignified and humane than what Henry Nowak got from his own government. So I'm not interested in the excuses of the British government. Fuck you. Fuck your entire system. Fuck an entire system that would arrive on scene and decide that because Henry Nowak was a white man and a "racist" that it was okay to sit there and laugh as he bled out and died. He was a child. He was an Innocent man. He died surrounded on all sides by attackers, accusers and those who mocked him and laughed at him as he bled out.
🇬🇧 Hampshire police claim that Henry Nowak would have died anyway, regardless of whether he was handcuffed or not.
The Hampshire police have issued an official defense for the actions taken by the officers who handcuffed 18-year-old Henry Nowak as he was pleading for help.
The medical examiner has testified that Vickrum Digwa’s 21 cm blade had caused a catastrophic wound directly to Henry's heart.
Because the blade penetrated so deeply, the blood was pooling inside his chest cavity rather than soaking his clothes immediately.
According to the pathologist, the trauma to his heart was unsurvivable from the moment it occurred, arguing that it didn't matter who was handcuffed at the scene first.
The Deputy Chief Constable has publicly stated that "the pathologist who spoke in court was clear: there was nothing officers could have done that day to save Henry. His wound was deep and internal, the bleeding extensive but internal."
Henry's father, Mark Nowak, stressed that while the wound was fatal, the police's mishandling denied his son the right to die with dignity, care, or peace.
Essentially, the British police shifted their narrative on Henry Nowak from "we did nothing wrong" to "he would have died anyway, so the delay doesn't matter."
