The family of a youth who endured multiple taser and baton strikes from police in Byron Bay five years ago has vowed to continue their fight for justice.

The case of a former Byron Bay police officer found not guilty of assaulting a teenager in a CBD laneway is to be reheard in Lismore today.

Recently the ASK Youth team was in action at the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre, delivering the 'Optimise Me' basketball camp to a large group of local kids.
