In the summer of 2023, CBC News identified the officers involved in the 2019 police shooting of Ejaz Choudry, a man with schizophrenia. Their identities were previously concealed due to a lack of criminal charges against them. Choudry's family expressed that revealing the names represents a small measure of accountability in their quest for justice, underscoring the importance of public awareness about the actions of law enforcement during a mental health crisis. Although they cannot bring Choudry back, they believe it is vital to hold the officers responsible for their decisions.
Public accountability may not bring my father back, but it ensures that his story, and our fight for justice is heard.
These individuals made choices during a mental health crisis that culminated in tragedy, and they must be held accountable for their actions.
