Manchester murders
artdoc July=1992

CARF no 7, March/April 1992
[Campaign Against Racism and Fascism]

"Siddik Dada and Mohammed Sarwar have been murdered in
Manchester. The community is fighting back."

The murders of shopkeeper Siddik Dada and taxi driver Mohammed
Sarwar in Manchester in January have shocked Manchester's
Asian community. United in their anger, over 1,000 people
joined a funeral cortege taking Mr Sarwar's body from
Rusholme's mosque to Manchester Airport to be flown back to
Pakistan. Taxi drivers came out in their hundreds, displaying
black flags on their cars and bringing traffic to a halt.

The brutality and senselessness of the murders has left local
people sickened. 60-year-old Siddik Dada was found unconscious
in a pool of blood on Thursday, 23 January, with multiple deep
skull fractures. He had been attacked by a white gang armed
with machetes; he died 13 days later.
