Stop the Deportations of the Pakistani Students!
Stop the criminalisation of Muslims!
In a blaze of hysterical publicity, armed police swooped on 12 Pakistani students in Manchester and Liverpool on April 08th. The Prime Minister boasted of a major terror plot being foiled. In spite of the fact that no evidence of any terror plot has been found on any of them, 11 of the 12 are still being held in custody, awaiting deportation. Instead of an apology, the police have promised more such raids. We must unite to stop the deportation of the Pakistani students and break the wall of fear that is being built around Muslim communities.
In February this year Nine Muslim men were arrested on the M65 motorway near Blackburn on their way to join the Viva Palestina aid convoy for Gaza. They were released without charge. Five years ago, again in a blaze of publicity, ten North Africans and Kurds were arrested in Manchestere, falsely implicated in a terror. The Government must stop this shameful harassment and Criminalization of Muslim communities and the media must stop the demonization of Muslims.
