Battle of Orgreav between striking miners and UK policemen

40
years ago

18 June 1984,

It was the battle of Orgreav between striking miners and UK policemen. Nearly 5,000 strikers seeking to prevent the entry of trucks and slaves into the mine were charged by 6,500 policemen dressed in horses and fighting. Over 100 injured and 95 arrested. Subsequently, it has been shown that the BBC changed the order of events, that is to say, first showed the staff who threw stones and then beat the police, even though it happened the other way round. It was one of the turning points of this historic strike. An Independent Commission in 2015 considered that “excessive police violence, exposing mining violence, was a false report, false allegations against detainees and damage protected by officers”.
