Murder of Yvonne Fletcher

WPC Yvonne Joyce Fletcher (15 June 1958 – 17 April 1984)〔Stewart Tendler, ‘Fletcher, Yvonne Joyce (1958–1984)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, September 2010 (Retrieved 12 November 2010 )〕 was a British police officer fatally shot during a protest outside the Libyan embassy at St. James's Square, London, in 1984. Fletcher, who had been on duty and deployed to police the protest, died shortly afterwards at Westminster Hospital. Her death resulted in the Metropolitan Police Service laying siege to the embassy for the next eleven days, and the United Kingdom severing all diplomatic relations with Libya. Two years later it became a major factor in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's decision to allow US President Ronald Reagan to launch the US bombing of Libya in 1986 from American bases in the United Kingdom.〔.〕
No one has ever been convicted for the murder of Yvonne Fletcher. However, in 1999, the government of Muammar Gaddafi accepted responsibility for her death and agreed to pay compensation to her family.〔Gammell, Caroline (2 November 2007). (Female officers injured in the line of duty ). ''The Daily Telegraph''.〕
==Protest==
Fletcher, who had joined the Metropolitan Police Service in 1977, was part of a detachment of 30 officers sent to St. James's Square to monitor a demonstration by Libyan dissidents opposed to the rule of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. Among the detachment with Fletcher was her fiancé.
The demonstration had been organised by the Libyan National Salvation Front (LNSF) following the execution of two students who had criticised Gaddafi. Since February 1984 the Libyan embassy, which was known as the Libyan People's Bureau at the time, had been staffed by "revolutionary committees" made up of students loyal to Gaddafi who had assumed control of the diplomatic mission with the tacit approval of the Libyan government. They were not professional diplomats.〔Dean, Lucy. (2003). ''The Middle East and North Africa 2004: 2004.'' Routledge. p. 779. ISBN 978-1-85743-184-1.〕〔Ham, Anthony. (2007). ''Libya.'' Lonely Planet. p. 41. ISBN 978-1-74059-493-6.〕 Gaddafi loyalists at the embassy warned police that they intended to mount a counter-demonstration.
On the day, about 75 protesters arrived by coach from northern England. The demonstration began peacefully as police successfully kept the two sides apart with crowd control barriers. Both groups shouted at each other and waved banners and placards. Loud music was played from the People's Bureau in an apparent attempt to drown out the noise of the protesters.
