internationale situation - England
06. Februar 2012
The English Defence League (EDL), a far-right street organisation which purports to oppose “extremist” Islam, is to hold a demonstration outside Liverpool Crown Court on Monday morning. The court is hearing the case of 11 men from Rochdale charged with conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child under the age of 16. The EDL argue that there is a “specific problem with Pakistani men” engaging in sexual abuse rings, citing similar sentiments to those expressed by former Home Secretary Jack Straw (Labour) last year. The EDL claim there is a “media blackout” on the issue. The British National Party will also be protesting. Liverpool Antifascists accused the EDL of “exploiting the abuse of children to promote their nationalist agenda.” Unite Against Fascism have also released a statement accusing the EDL of “cynical exploitation”. The statement was signed by Liverpool City Council Leader Joe Anderson and Cllr Louise Baldock. Both LAF and UAF have called a counter-demonstration.
