Call for Witnesses to Naseh Ghafor – Road Blockade

Deacon Dave | 24.10.2004 10:25 | Migration | Repression | Sheffield

At least 5 Kurdish people have been arrested and charged with violent disorder and criminal damage arising from the incident with the bus on Spital Hill during the vigil for Naseh Ghafor's hunger strike. The incident happened around 7pm on Tuesday 17th August. Two English people are due to be charged soon. The Kurds are due to appear at Sheffield Magistrates Court on Tuesday 26 October. Amazingly the bus driver who started it all is not being charged !

Did anyone witness the initial provocation from the bus driver ? Does anyone have any photos or videos of what happened ? Please contact me ASAP. The consequences could be very serious for many of the people involved. Some could be deported if found guilty.

It would probably not be helpful to stage a rally outside the court but if anyone feels able to offer support in court that would be useful.
