The racist texts. What the Mubenga trial jury was not told

Jimmy Mubenga died under restraint by three G4S guards. Extreme racist texts found on two of the guards’ phones were withheld from the jury who yesterday cleared all three men of manslaughter. (Warning: this piece contains highly offensive language)

The Jimmy Mubenga case exposed a system in denial over racism

Justice demands that the reality of racism be brought into the courtroom, not excluded. In the early 1980s, as a young barrister, I participated in the defence of 12 young Asian men facing trial at Leeds crown court for conspiracy to cause explosions and to endanger life, and for possession of a crate full of petrol bombs. They admitted making the petrol bombs – in order to defend their community from the racist rampages of the National Front, against which the police provided no protection. To defend the young men, we and they had to demonstrate the reality of racism – individual and institutional – faced by the Asian community of Bradford, so that the jury could contextualise the men’s actions. The judge allowed us to do this. The young men’s defence of community self-defence was accepted and they were acquitted. Most jury members had been wholly unaware of the parallel world of daily racism the men faced, as they admitted to us later.
