Haroon Jahan, Shazad Ali and Abdul Masavir were murdered whilst protecting their communities.
The West Midlands police presented a murder case before the Crown Prosecution Service stating that there is enough substantial evidence in order to convict each of the eight men of murder. The CPS, after running a public test acknowledged that a trial for murder will be recruited.
In the trial of eight men who were up for 3 accounts of murder, were all acquitted by the jury because the Judge did not allow any of the witness statements to be used by the prosecution. All eight men were set free without any charge.
Many communities within the UK strongly feel that the verdict is unjust and are pleading for a re-trial where knowledgeable members of the legal system will judge the verdict of the trial.
Communities in UK want:
A re- trial of this case.
A suitable punishment for those involved.
Justice for the victims and their families.
