Four months after furore, with no sign of any CPS action... Nigel Farage mounts private prosecution against brothers over brutal attack on airport row police Nigel Farage is to mount a private prosecution against the youths involved in a brawl at Manchester Airport that led to protests about 'police brutality'. The Reform UK leader is expected to announce the move tomorrow to highlight what he regards as a 'two-tier justice system', in which Right-wing activists are singled out by the courts for harsher treatment. The furore erupted in July after partial videos of the incident shared online showed an officer kicking 19-year-old Fahir Muhammed Amas during an attempted arrest of him and his brother Amaad. Tensions were raised further when their lawyer Akhmed Yakoob claimed the fracas had been an 'attempted assassination', triggering anti-police protests in the brothers' home town of Rochdale. But dramatic CCTV footage then revealed the three police officers had been viciously attacked, leaving a WPC with a broken nose and another officer slumped on the floor just before the Fahir incident. Four months later, with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) apparently no closer to announcing charges against the brothers, Mr Farage has hired two solicitors to bring a case against them. https://mol.im/a/14091211
