ANTI-RACIST activists joined a guerrilla protest throughout Britain today against police violence and discrimination, marking the International Day for the Elimination of Racism.
Organised by campaign group Our Future Now (OFN), activists covertly pasted up posters on the streets of London, Brighton, Cambridge, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Stirling, Wendover and Leeds.
The posters, which appeared on bus stops and billboards, call for justice for Mohamud Hassan, 24, and Mouayed Bashir, 29, two young black men who died this year after coming into contact with police.
