Two men involved in the incident have been named
Two men who were involved in an incident at Manchester Airport which led to a police officer being suspended have been pictured.
GMP has suspended an officer and referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct. In a video on social media, Akhmed Yakoob, a solicitor representing the family from Rochdale, has named two of the men involved in the incident as Amaad and Fahir.Speaking at a press conference in Rochdale this afternoon , he revealed that the medical condition of one of the men has worsened since last night.
"Just imagine a first time visitor to the UK and they get to see the brutality from the UK police. They will not want to visit the UK again - well I wouldn't if I see that sort of brutality by people who were meant to be protectors of the public and not aggressors and oppressors. Mr Yakoob was backed by former Rochdale MP George Galloway when he stood as an independent candidate for West Midlands mayor earlier this year. He later ran to be the MP for the Birmingham Ladywood constituency but lost to Labour by 3,421 votes.
