Watch: Manchester police arrest victim of fascists’ racist ‘lynch mob’ attack

[Manchester]

A mob of dozens of far-right thugs attacked a defenceless Brown man in Manchester on Saturday 21 February, for no other reason than the colour of his skin. Witnesses said that the attackers chanted “F*** A***h” after the man asked what their protest was about.

Police arrested the victim.

The mobs were also seen performing Nazi salutes and demanding ‘forced remigration’ of Black and brown people – and attacking other locals unfortunate enough to be caught in their path. At the same time, a large contingent of police protected the racists from counter-demonstrators.

The incident follows the pattern of previous far-right attacks in Manchester, like the 2024 attack on a lone Black man, in which police [reacted to the attack by pinning down and arresting the victim][4].

The Greater Manchester Police force’s [own figures show huge levels of racism in its policing tactics][5], yet it has failed to acknowledge the issue [despite repeated investigations reaching conclusions of structural and institutional racism][6].

Fascist impunity continues in the UK.
