“The Faqiri family has been waiting for years for someone to explain how this could have happened.  This legal action seeks to uncover the truth about what happened to Soleiman, why it happened, and to make sure it won’t happen to anyone ever again.  This is about truth and accountability.”

Faqiri Family lawyer,

Nader Hasan

“At first, no single injury stood out as being more likely than another to have caused Soleiman’s death. But it now appears that the coroner wasn’t given the whole story. Corrections staff told the coroner that Soleiman was only held down by his legs and arms. According to the eyewitness, this was not true. If a guard did in fact kneel down on Soleiman’s neck, this would support that Soleiman was the victim of a restraint related death.”

Faqiri Family lawyer,

Ted Marrocco

“Years drag by without meaningful answers for the family of Soli Faqiri, and without accountability for Soli’s death in government care. A thorough and transparent investigation into the incident and those responsible is just the start because clearly there are many systemic failures that led to this sick
and vulnerable man’s death.”
