Thank you to all who came and supported the march today. More events coming up - this is not the end!  As we see a resurgence of the far right again in the UK, we remember our resistance and prepare for the future #SouthallResists

On this day in 1979, Awaz (UK Asian women’s collective) + OWAAD (Organisation of Women of African+Asian descent) organised a powerful picket at Heathrow, protesting the horrific virginity tests, which some migrant women were subject to by immigration services on arrival to the UK

Important thread on ‘bussing’. Southall children of South Asian, African or Caribbean descent were sent to schools miles from home because of the colour of their skin

Lakhvinder Ricky Reel was an Asian student, aged 20. He was racially attacked by two men in Kingston. 7 days later his body was found in River Thames #Justice4Reel @MonitoringGroup @YLALawyers @MakeLawForAll

On this day in 1997, Ricky Reel was found dead after a racist attack on him and a group of friends.

To this day his family are still campaigning for justice.

Instead of investigating if racism was a factor in his death, Police spied on his family #Justice4Reel

[The Monitoring Group @MonitoringGroup]

The family were treated like second class citizens because of their race and colour

In Manchester, we did a programme at gurudwara sahib for Ricky in 1998. Nearly 25 years on from his passing and still no justice 💔
