Defend Ameen Hadi and Salford City UNISON

Salford City Council

Defend Ameen Hadi and Salford City UNISON against the Far Right

We, the undersigned, stand in solidarity with trade unionist and lifelong anti racist campaigner Ameen Hadi. He has been placed under investigation by Salford City Council, following a malicious allegation, driven by far right YouTubers and Fascist Tommy Robinson, after a TOGETHER unity rally in Manchester on International Women’s Day.

Full Video evidence from the day clearly shows that the claims against Ameen are unfounded.

A newly elected woman MP, Hannah Spencer, was abused, intimidated and threatened by a number of far right agitators. Ameen was surrounded and attacked. It is unacceptable that he is now facing investigation from his employer Salford City Council.

These far right, monetised YouTubers have regularly disrupted, abused and physically attacked a number of campaigns including: the Manchester Climate Justice demonstration; Palestine vigils; the MP Zarah Sultana and stewards at a Stop the War meeting; people defending refugees outside hotels, as well as targeting asylum seekers and other vulnerable groups.

They have also made numerous abusive, racist, homophobic, anti trans comments and threats of violence to Salford City UNISON Branch officers and their families, resulting in the temporary closure of the branch office on grounds of safety.

We call for:

• The immediate end to disciplinary proceedings against Ameen
• A clear commitment from Salford City Council and other public bodies that far-right harassment and intimidation campaigns, will not be allowed to dictate disciplinary process against trade unionists and anti-racist activists
• Salford City Council to investigate and report any threatening or abusive emails.
• Support for the Lobby of Salford City Council, called by Salford City UNISON in Defence of Ameen and UNISON on Wednesday 18th March 8am at Swinton Civic Centre, M27 5AW.
• As part of challenging the far right, everyone to join The Together Alliance March in London on 28th March https://www.togetheralliance.org.uk/
