Dear Sir/Madam,
I sent this to newsnight last night. I am seething!
After seeing your report about the people who have been jailed because of the protests against Israel I am enraged. I was at the protest and saw how the police provoked a response when they kettled (if that’s what it’s called) very aggressively, men, women and children. Myself, my sister and brother in law were crushed by very aggressive police, and many young muslim men were hit for no reason. The protest was peaceful prior to this. What I saw after this was terrifying; there was a steady stream of men and women, young and old passing through the packed crowd with serious injuries. Like the Israeli attacks on Gaza, this police action was totally disproportionate.
To learn that 65 people have been jailed because of police aggression makes me wonder what kind of country we live in. It certainly isn’t a free one. You’d think this was China when you see police hitting women and hear that they haven’t been charged for it. It stinks of corruption.
I did put a complaint into the police complaints commission but withdrew it when my CRB hadn’t been processed after 9 weeks.
Kind Regards,
Derek Hall
