TWO meetings in Bradford last week attracted over 100 people to each.
One was a meeting called by the July 11 Action Committee in defence of the Bradford 12.
The 12 Asian youths have been charged under the notorious conspiracy laws, and could face sentences of anything up to life imprisonment.
The other meeting was in defence of Mumtaz Kiani, who is threatened deportation.
A number of Labour Party branches and constituencies, and now Bradford Trades Council, are supporting her campaign, and a demonstration will be held on 17 October in Rochdale in order to link Mumtaz Kiani's case with Nasreen Akhtar's.
Both women's cases follow the pattern of the threatened deportations of Jaswinder Kaur and Anwar Ditta, showing up yet again the racist and sexist nature of the immigration laws. to be here depending on their husband's.
If the marriage breaks down, then, according to the Home Office, they have no 'right' to remain.
