Press Release
31st May 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE USE
The fascist BNP and their far right friends have stepped up their intimidation of trade unionists and political activists in Kirklees.
On Friday morning a young female student was attacked on her way to work by three armed members of the far right.
They pulled her to the ground, kicked her repeatedly in the ribs and slashed at her head with a knife.
Whilst attacking her they called her “A Dirty Red” and “Filthy Lesbo” the latter being a reference to the victims sexuality.
She suffered a fractured rib and severe bruising, but given the severity of the assault the injuries could have been far worse.
The attackers singled out this student because she campaigns on her campus to drive out the BNP.The victim is also a member of Unison and the NUS.
They knew her name and route to work, and deliberately targeted her to intimidate her and others campaigning against the far right.
The incident has been reported to West Yorkshire Police and they are currently investigating the attack.
The victim may be available for comment but will require anonymity in the media for fear of reprisal.

I've seen him with a redwatch camera at the Nick Griffin trial, the cowardly scumbag loser.
How many people must suffer before the government shuts down Redwatch?
