Martyn's law, named after 29-year-old Martyn Hett, would require venues and local authorities in the UK to have training requirements and preventative plans against terror attacks.
The mother of one of the Manchester Arena bombing victims will begin a 200-mile walk from the spot her son was killed to Downing Street to demand stronger protections against terrorism. Martyn's law, named after 29-year-old Martyn Hett, who was one of 22 people killed in the attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in May 2017, would require venues and local authorities in the UK to have training requirements and preventative plans against terror attacks.
This morning she will be joined by Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and former counter-terrorism police chief Nick Aldworth, as well as Mr Hett's friends, at the AO Arena in central Manchester. She will then begin the 186-mile walk to Downing Street, visiting memorials to victims of terror attacks along the way to pay her respects.
