The death of Mohamud Hassan in Cardiff - soon after leaving police custody - sparked a week of mass protests outside Cardiff police station in Butetown. Tragically Mohamud is the latest in a long line of Black and Asian people who have died in or after custody in suspicious circumstances. We are pleased to welcome Bianca Ali from Cardiff BLM to speak about the Cardiff protests and the justice4mohamud campaign.
The rot goes deeper than individual cases and racism. Political activists, trade-unionists, justice campaigners and others have been spied on, infiltrated - even had police-spies raising families with them - in a series of repeated scandals over decades.
Can the police be reformed, and if not why not? If we abolish the police, as raised by the BLM movement especially in the US, what replaces them? How do we achieve justice for so many - especially Black and Asian people - who have died in custody with no-one held to account? Come to the meeting to debate and discuss
(All our meetings also have a second half activist discussion about other current political events, national and local campaigns in the context of Covid etc)
