Scotland Yard is to publish a report into the death of anti-racism campaigner Blair Peach, more than thirty years ago.Mr Peach, 33, was hit over the head at a demonstration against the National Front in Southall, west London in 1979.
Relatives of Mr Peach have been campaigning for an internal review of the killing for many years.
Last year Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said he was willing to publish the document.
Police solicitors advised prosecutors to check the report in case there was any chance further inquiries could be made and charges brought.
The Crown Prosecution Service said officials had completed their work and given their findings back to senior officers.
The decision to publish the report was made after public pressure to reveal the review in the months after the death of Ian Tomlinson during the 2009 G20 protests.
'No charges'
The report on Mr Peach's death, was written by Commander John Cass, a former senior officer at the Met's internal complaints department.
He is believed to have recommended the prosecution of police officers, although no charges were ever brought forward.
Members of the Metropolitan Police Authority unanimously supported a decision to review the documents with a view to publish them before the end of last year.
Last Friday, a Met spokeswoman said the police would publish a number of documents after a review of all the material and independent advice from the CPS.
She added: "This will include the key historic reports into Blair Peach's death by Commander Cass, and a subsequent review."
The report will be made public on Tuesday.This article is from the BBC News website. ? British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
