The British government has formally launched an official inquiry into violent policing at the Orgreave coking plant during the 1984-85 miners' strike, chaired by Bishop Pete Wilcox, with a report expected by spring 2028. The inquiry will examine the June 1984 clash between 8,000 miners and 6,000 police officers and the subsequent prosecutions of 95 miners, whose charges were dropped after police evidence was discredited.
