Hassan Ahmed, police & BAME and ‘Ladies First’

Qasa asks, do you feel the police have treated you differently because you're Asian?

First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. After that we’ll hear from Hassan Ahmed who says he struggles to sleep at night after he was restrained on the ground by a police officer in West Yorkshire. Footage of the incident, which has been widely shared online, shows the 27-year-old being arrested with the police officer holding an arm on his neck saying 'chill out or I'll choke you out'. Then Qasa wants to know, do you feel the police have treated you differently because you're Asian? This comes after a survey by ‘Hope not Hate’ suggested that two-thirds of black and minority ethnic people feel there is bias against them within police forces. Plus, our reporter, Pria Rai, has been finding out why some people from the British Bengali community are against proposals to redevelop parts of London’s Brick Lane. And we’ll have our feature ‘Ladies First', where an all-female panel discuss news stories that affect the lives of British Asian women.
