A petition on Change.org calling for charges against police officers involved in the death of university student Henry Nowak has surpassed 200,000 signatures. Nowak, 18, was killed last year by Vickrum Digwa, 23, who stabbed him. Digwa claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging a racist attack by Nowak. Body cam footage of the incident has sparked significant public outrage in the United Kingdom, leading to the petition's rapid growth. The petition demands that the officers be charged and that the findings of the investigation be published. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is currently investigating the incident, but the officers are being treated as witnesses. The petition also calls for accountability for the police's treatment of Nowak during the incident. Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 21 years. The case has prompted national discussions regarding police conduct and racial sensitivity policies in the UK.
