Family Sues Scottish Prison Service Over Inmate Death

Allan Marshall's family seeks accountability through human rights laws after his restraint by 17 officers led to fatal injuries.

Allan Marshall died in 2015 after being restrained by multiple officers at HMP Edinburgh.
The family claims a breach of his right to life under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The officers involved were granted immunity from prosecution, sparking criticism and legal action.
A fatal accident inquiry deemed Marshall's death 'entirely preventable' and highlighted systemic issues.
The case could set a precedent for holding authorities accountable for deaths in custody in Scotland.
