00:00:05,870 --> 00:00:12,590
I'm joining the campaign for justice for

2
00:00:09,769 --> 00:00:14,719
little shukri Abdi the 12 year old girl

3
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:18,560
found drowned in the river

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,890
in Barry in Greater Manchester last

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:24,140
month I never believed the story in the

6
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:27,349
first place it didn't have the ring of

7
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:31,849
truth for me this little girl couldn't

8
00:00:27,349 --> 00:00:35,629
swim was in fact averse to water she was

9
00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:38,510
a fool hijab' wearing muslim schoolgirl

10
00:00:35,629 --> 00:00:41,360
and she had been on the receiving end of

11
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:43,610
merciless bullying the kind of which is

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,760
suffered by many children of all

13
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:49,219
backgrounds up and down the country on

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,739
the face of it it seemed to me much more

15
00:00:49,219 --> 00:00:54,890
likely that she had somehow been coerced

16
00:00:51,739 --> 00:00:58,940
into the water against her will or even

17
00:00:54,890 --> 00:01:00,739
pushed into the water by others I was

18
00:00:58,940 --> 00:01:04,339
dismayed that the Greater Manchester

19
00:01:00,739 --> 00:01:07,040
Police for whom I have in ordinary times

20
00:01:04,339 --> 00:01:09,920
the greatest admiration so easily

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,520
accepted the idea that she'd gone for a

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,280
swim in full garb got into trouble and

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:20,150
drowned her family and her community

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,430
need justice so I'm asking you to Google

25
00:01:20,150 --> 00:01:25,700
this case learn the facts of it and

26
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:29,510
convey somehow by one means or another

27
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:34,420
to the Honorable mayor and a burner the

28
00:01:29,510 --> 00:01:34,420
need for justice for Shukla Abdi
