Bizos criticises the national police commissioner for not being helpful to the Farlam Commission of Inquiry
Rights lawyer, George Bizos, says the national police commissioner, Riah Phiyega, is not helpful to the Farlam Commission of Inquiry.
Bizos, who is representing the Legal Resources Centre and Bench Marks Foundation, says that he will submit to the commission that Phiyega had failed to provide the relevant answers.
He accuses Phiyega of protecting police who shot dead 34 protesting miners in a wage strike on 16 August 2012, adding that, "Not only have you come here without answers, but you've come here to avoid personal accountability."
