But it turned out this was complete bullshit, the main witness was a complete fantasist, the police made major fuckups, and an innocent man, Mohammed Reveshi, spent two and a half years in prison before the prosecution dropped the case:

Now the scum of the EDL want to use this girl's disappearance as a tool to further their own racist agenda.

Even the EDL don't have faith in this demo
24.07.2010 12:06
As the Daily Star is the ONLY national newspaper ever gullible enough to have given the EDL uncritical coverage, Casuals United are jumping up and down with anger that (not surprisingly) now even the Star have refused to take an interest in this, and CU are encouraging EDL supporters to phone and e-mail The Star to pressure them to participate in this bullshit. If you want to set the Star straight the contact details CU are advertising are news@dailystar.co.uk and 0208 612 7373 - be polite.
CU have said the Combat 18 supporters who made Nazi salutes at their Swansea demo won't be turning up in Blackpool, but that's what CU said when the EDL protested in Cardiff, and Combat 18 and other Nazis (eg - people with tattoos of the Nazi rock band Skrewdriver etc) still turned up in Cardiff. Either way the EDL was formed by known BNP activists, so it's a moot point either way - they're still Fascists. Nonetheless my suggestion is that Anti-Fascists sit this one out as in all probability very few people will turn up anyway, but most importantly because the last thing we need is the EDL circulating photos of Anti-Fascists allegedly "opposing" a demo against an alleged child-killer. Focus on Bradford instead.

The girls family is going to be there and I personally find it disgusting that idiots like you are going to go and mess up the day for them just to pick a fight with the EDL.

Can't see how it helps the EDL dispel the claims that they ARE a racist body.

Would EDL be turning up if the murderer was white and non Muslim? No.

To Rowan "88"
23.07.2010 19:17
88 is a very common numerical device used by neo-nazis, for those who don't know - the below is taken from wikipedia:
As a Neo-Nazi symbol
Eighty-eight is used as code among Neo-Nazis to identify each other.[2] H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 is taken to stand for HH which in turn means Heil Hitler.[3] For example, the number is used in the song "88 rock'n'roll band" by the neo-Nazi group Landser. The late convicted Order terrorist David Lane wrote "Fourteen Words" and 88 Precepts, and the numbers are often found in combination (1488, 14/88, etc.). This form of the number has inspired the naming of the groups Column 88, Unit 88, White Legion 88 and Barselc88.

This protest is a TRAP set by the EDL

In this case the police bugged the suspect, recorded hundreds of hours of speech, but the recordings were of such poor quality that even forensic speech scientists who analysed the evidence couldn't agree with the cops who'd recorded the conversations what the recordings actually said - and, to cap it all, it turns out the guy who gave the cops the original tip-off was an ex-crim with a long record for extreme dubiousness... therefore, no conviction. Our sympathies go out to the girl's family for this terribly tragegy, but their anger is being cynically EXPLOITED by the EDL
The EDL have latched on to this case for one reason and one reason only - because the suspect was a MUSLIM. It would be the mother of all understatements to say that the football thugs, BNP activists, closet Nazis and career-hooligans of the EDL have absolutely no experience that's even remotely relevant to the subtleties and complexities of forensic speech analysis, and that the EDL"s only knowledge of legal process is derived from they times they themselves have been prosecuted and jailed for savage violence of eg - the sort that saw EDL organiser Jeff Marsh jailed twice for STABBING rival football fans.
This protest is a trap set by the EDL to try and trick Anti-Fascists into a position where we can be misrepresented by them as having "supported" an alleged child-killer, so Anti-Fascists are strongly advised to leave this one well alone.
As for the broader issues, thousands of kids have been sexually abused by clergy of both the Catholic and Protestant churches, but when the fuck did ANY of these EDL idiots EVER protest outside a Christian church?!

1) The main 'evidence' in the murder case came from a highly unreliable police informant with a grudge against Albattikhi who attempted to get the kebab shop owner (who knew the missing girl) to go along with sick jokes that he had killed and cooked the girl. There was no pro-muslim conspiracy as to why the trial collapsed - simply incompetent police work, a complete lack of solid evidence and the institutional racism of the cops. Sad to see the EDL exploiting Charlene's parents for their cause.
2) One result of the case was seismic levels of unrest in local social workers and CCTV going up in nearby alleyways as it became apparent that takeaway owners in that area were regularly exploiting underage girls for sex. Anti-fascists should remember that dodgy paedophile twats come in every colour and creed.
