The families of Alison Howe and Lisa Lees, who died in the 2017 bombing, and Martin Hibbert, who was left paralysed in the attack, have called for a change in the law
Families who lost loved ones in the Manchester Arena bombing have joined growing calls for the most serious criminals to be forced to attend sentencing hearings.
In 2020, Abedi's brother and accomplice Hashem also refused to leave his cell when he was handed a minimum 55 year jail sentence at the Old Bailey for helping his sibling prepare for the attack. "Albert Pierpoint wouldn't think twice," he added, a reference to the hangman who executed up to 400 murderers and other serious criminals before capital punishment was outlawed in the UK in 1969.
He said: "I don't believe Oscar Wilde had a choice when he was tried for being gay and yet these victims can avoid facing their victims. That's definitely not justice. My heart and thoughts go to people whop have to endure such a decision. We offer them a choice their victims didn't get." "So to think that the culprits of those atrocities don't have to stand in front of judge and jury and families, I don't think I will ever understand how that is and why that is. I'm always one that if you commit a crime then you should have to stand in front of judge and jury and families."
