Asian taxi driver murdered

· Socialist Outlook no. 29, October 10 1992 · 136 words

mingham was brutally knifed to death by three racist thugs atter going to the aid of a workmate being beaten up outside the Rec and White taxi base in the city centre.

Two days after the killing last month, some 3,000 people attended a prayer ceremony at the Central Mosque, with 1,000 taxi drivers forming a procession to the scene of the murder.

Unfortunately, the Anti-Nazi League (led by the Socialist Workers Party) have prematurely called a demonstration for October 10 without even consulting relatives, in a sectarian bid to outflank CARF, the Anti-Racist Alliance and AntiFascist Action.

This will only alienate the black community labour movement. Birmingham CARF believes they should cancel the demonstration and participate in united front memorial committee. For more information, contact TAMC/CARE, PO Box 1854, Camp Hill, Birmingham B11 1NJ.
