The family at the centre of last week’s Manchester Airport incident are being represented by a new lawyer
Glasgow based Aamer Anwar who was originally from Manchester and is described as having decades of experience in police brutality and support will now be representing the family
Anwar said: “I am instructed on behalf of Fahir Amaaz, Muhammad Amaad, their mother and family in respect of the incident at Manchester Airport on Tuesday, 23rd July 2024.
In a further statement he said
have spoken to the IOPC with regards to lodging a formal complaint and expect all CCTV and police bodycam footage to be retained.
“There can be no excuse for any footage to inadvertently disappear.
“If certain police officers behave like this in an area full of CCTV and in the presence so many witnesses, then it really begs the question of what they are capable of when there is no such evidence.
“Highly trained police officers can never use provocation or emotion to justify the use of excessive, illegitimate and potentially lethal force.
“I would also urge any members of the public who witnessed the incident or were subjected to police violence to come forward and either contact the IOPC or my office.
“The family of whom a number are serving police officers, wish to make it clear, if any member of their family was engaged in criminal conduct then they must face due process.
“However the repeated attempts by so called police sources to spin a false narrative or context are deeply unhelpful to an IOPC investigation.
“We expect the GMP to arrest a member of public who is accused of subjecting the two brother’s 60-year-old mother to a tirade of racist abuse and assault – this is what sparked the incident – the police of course have his details and must act immediately.
