Yusuf Faqiri expressed frustration, stating, "When they keep ignoring coroner's inquests recommendations when more and more deaths happen, it says to us that the system needs to change." The failure to act on the jury's 57 recommendations underscores systemic issues within Ontario's correctional facilities and the pressing need for reform to protect vulnerable individuals in custody.
The coroner's inquest found Soleiman Faqiri, who suffered from schizoaffective disorder, died due to excessive force used by guards—he had over 50 bruises, was pepper-sprayed, and restrained under a spit hood before his fatal restraint. Despite these findings, his family's push for accountability remains unmet, highlighting a troubling absence of changes in policy to address such tragedies.
