SIR – Your report on possible arrests resulting from the EDL demonstration in Bradford quotes Ratna Lachman of a “human rights” organisation called “JUST West Yorkshire” (operating from Carlisle Road, Bradford) as calling for arrests and prosecution on “racial incitement” grounds.
A glance at the “JUST West Yorkshire” website tells us: “The fall-out from the 2001 Northern Uprisings and the introduction of draconian legislation following the 7/7 London bombings has resulted in civil liberties and human rights increasingly becoming an integral part of our work in the region”.
“Northern Uprisings”? No further comment necessary!
