A new broad-based group was set up last night to challenge racism in Brent. The group, Brent Anti-Racist Campaign (BARC) will take up issues in policing, housing, immigration, employment, education and any other areas where racism becomes an issue. BARC will also get involved in running 'Know your Rights' workshops for young people.
The crowded meeting heard the story of Daniel Davies from Wembley who was arrested last March over a watch that police suspected of being stolen but which he had purchased from his paper round savings LINK
This was not the end of Daniel's problems because he was stopped by police again in June when he was on the way to an interview in a smart suit. This time ended up hospitalised after allegedly being restrained by the neck at Wembley Police station in Harrow Road. LINK Police had accused him of being in breach of a dispersal zone.
BARC will demonstrate in support of Daniel and his parents when he appears at Willesden Magistrates Court on August 4th.
