Josie Fraser the mother of Demetre Fraser (RIP) a victim of west midlands po-lice is asking everyone who can to please attend the event linked below. Sat. Nov.12th, assemble 1 PM at Windrush Oval, Brixton, London. All welcome regardless of race or whether or not you are affiliated/agree with the Uhuru movement (who called the march).
PS I have heard that there WAS footage of some of the worse incidents of callous and vicious police actions at Saturday's march... but the poster has removed his youtube account and taken it down. why??? you have to wonder.
PPS for the record - I do not know or have any experience of Lee Jasper who was head steward of Saturday's march and who wrote the article linked above - but have heard from several people, including family members of those who died in custody, that they are not happy with how he handled it and that some family members were not consulted about his stewardship of the march and didn't agree with it. I won't repeat allegations I have heard about some aspects of his conduct to the families even before the march as I heard them second and third hand, so won't pass those on... but the fact that he used to work for former mayor Ken Livingstone and features a pic on his blog of him shaking hands with Jesse Jackson who I do not rate at all, doesn't inspire any confidence in him, but like I said, I don't know the man personally. Just saying that to make clear that I am not endorsing him as a leader or whatever, but just linked his article as it was a fairly good description of what went on that day. Check the link... will post it separately as well in case folks miss it. Would be great if any of you in the area could attend.
