Nigel Farage and Reform UK threaten private prosecution over Manchester Airport disturbance

Reform UK has said it will launch a private prosecution against the men suspected of being involved in a disturbance at Manchester Airport in July if they are not charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Footage of a fracas at the airport went viral and appeared to show an officer kicking and stamping on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, as he and his brother Muhammed Amaad, 25, were restrained by officers.

Further footage, obtained by the Manchester Evening News, emerged days later which showed the immediate lead-up to the incident on July 23, including when two female police officers were hit to the ground before Mr Amaaz was incapacitated with a Taser.

An investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is under way into the incident and nobody has been charged.

A letter to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper signed by the party’s five MPs said: “We have genuine reason to be concerned that in fact, the CPS is awaiting for the IOPC to find some fault with the police officers, which will then give them a reason not to progress charges against the assailants. This is totally unacceptable.”

The letter added: “We are therefore serving notice that if the CPS is not going to charge the assailants, then we will organise a private criminal prosecution against them. We have taken initial advice and have a legal team on standby to progress when required.”

The letter added that the prosecution would be crowdfunded if necessary.

Its absolutely disgusting when people have been jailed for shouting at the police and these people who are the real thugs seem to be let off.

[surfcitiz]

This is tip of the iceberg, but it feels good to have people in this country who are not afraid to stand their ground while the majority is manipulated by the mainstream media.

[ABTrainsYT]

If they won’t do it, we’ll do it ourselves.

Proud as punch. Speaking of punch... I hope that police officer who was brutally assaulted will also sue, police and her assailants. Justice is knocking.

Criminals being held accountable for their actions? Well there's a far right idea.
