Reform UK to Pursue Private Prosecution in Manchester Airport Incident

Reform UK has announced its intention to initiate a private prosecution against the men involved in a violent altercation with police at Manchester Airport earlier this year. The incident has raised significant concerns about the handling of the situation, prompting Reform MPs to write to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, accusing authorities of throwing the involved officers "under the bus" while the young men remain unpunished.

 

The altercation gained widespread attention in July when a video circulated showing Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers engaging with Fahir Amaaz, 19, and his brother Muhammad, 25, at the airport’s terminal 2. The video, which quickly went viral, captured an officer appearing to kick and stamp on Fahir’s head, sparking outrage and protests in both Rochdale and Manchester city center.

 

Days after the incident, a second video surfaced, obtained by the *Manchester Evening News*. This footage revealed the moments leading up to the altercation on July 23, showing two female police officers being knocked to the ground before Mr. Amaaz was subdued with a taser. In response, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) launched an investigation, and a GMP constable was placed under criminal investigation for assault. A second officer also came under investigation for his role in the altercation.

Despite these ongoing investigations into the officers, Reform MPs have voiced their dissatisfaction with how the case has been handled so far. They argue that the brothers, Fahir and Muhammad, have received leniency and remain unpunished for their role in the incident. In their letter to the Home Secretary, the MPs accused the authorities of covering up key footage of the incident's beginning and expressed frustration over the delayed response.

 

The MPs wrote, "This delay and lack of support for serving officers is deeply damaging to the morale of all police officers, as well as impacting on their ability to do their job properly. If police officers are constantly working with the fear that their seniors and the IOPC will throw them under a bus at any moment, then they will not be able to protect the public in the full and fair way that we want."

 

Reform UK has made it clear that if the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not move forward with prosecuting the men involved, they will take legal action themselves. The party has already made plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign to support the costs of a private prosecution. Reform’s MPs argue that the police officers involved showed "great restraint" during the incident, noting that while tasers were deployed, the officers refrained from using more severe force, such as firearms.

 

The case has been further complicated by allegations from the Amaaz family. They claim that the altercation began after their mother, Shameem Akhtar, was racially abused on a Qatar Airways flight. According to the family, the brothers confronted the man responsible after meeting their mother at the airport. The family’s solicitor confirmed that an "altercation" occurred at a Starbucks in the terminal, though they have declined to provide additional details.

 

Following the incident, the family claims police officers escalated the situation by grabbing Mr. Amaaz’s wrist and neck, later striking his head against a ticket machine. During an August press conference, the Amaaz family accused the officer who allegedly stamped on Fahir’s head of turning off his body camera before threatening his life. Mr. Amaaz further claimed that the officer called him a "dirty f------ c---" and knelt on his neck during the confrontation.

 

As the legal battles unfold, Reform UK remains adamant that justice must be served. Whether through the CPS or a private prosecution, they are determined to hold those responsible accountable for their actions, ensuring that the incident is thoroughly investigated. The question of whether the full truth of what happened that day will come to light remains to be seen, but the public's attention remains firmly fixed on the case.

And in response to your misrepresentation of facts I have on multiple occasions provided you with actual records of the criminal charges, court verdicts and the specific laws broken.

 

All demonstrating your habitual misrepresentation of truth on these cases.

 

We all know the verdicts Chomps. Completely out of synch with the crime. That's the problem. 2 tiered justice. Repeating the clear double standard of the verdict only reinforces what most people are complaining about. 

 

What double standard, you might ask? Well, how about the fact the Labour guy calling for throats to be slit is out walking the streets, not even due in court until some time next year while these Facebook posters languish in jail. No fast tracking through the courts for the left wing minorities. No, just set a date in the distant future and wait for the story to fade before giving him a slap on the wrist and hope nobody notices.

 

Forget about fast tracking to jail for the muslims who broke the female police officers nose. They haven't even been charged months after the attack. Wouldn't want to risk inflaming tensions. Just try to brush it under the carpet. Well, Reform are making sure that doesn't happen. Let's see if they cave in under the pressure and apply the law equally for once, or continue to dig their heels in.

Yes we know the verdicts Jonny, and as I said above we also know the crime, you do too because on multiple occasions I presented you with the formal records of the charges, the verdicts the actual crimes and the text of the actual laws broken.

 

You know these things, and yet you continue to lie about them.

Good, I hope they are triumphant because the lying, communist, union paying off, bash the old people, freebie taking  Labour party will do nothing for fear of losing the muslim/asian voting block 

I agree. Starmer with a career as a top prosecution KC  is totally inept at challenging the Muslim illfiltration in British politics. 

Last week saw a record number of illegal immigrants enter Britain 968 in one day. 

Due to a lack of political will and dogooders some of them will be voting in a few years.

Yes we know the "crime". We also saw the unusually long sentences rushed through the courts in a week, while the Manchester airport thugs haven't even been charged for breaking a policewomans nose even several months later.

 

Two tier policing, supported by useful idiots.

Sentencing of people engaging in planned and coordinated riots that took place in multiple locations across the country.

 

Riots that came to a shuddering stop when those participating faced swift justice.
 

A shining example of how to deal with widespread, planned and coordinated civil unrest.

 

Well done police, courts and CPS.

Yet a completely different approach to Muslims breaking the nose of police officers at airports.

 

No charges after several months.

 

Like I said, a 2 tier system of justice.

Well done i agree.

However  they had to free hundreds of convicted criminals to make way for the rioters.
