Mancunians attended a protest in the city centre tonight in solidarity with the 15-year-old black girl who was stripped searched by the Metropolitan Police.
The protest took place at St Peter’s Square in Manchester on Friday and was organised by Manchester based groups Kids of Colour and the Northern Police Monitoring Project (NPMP), who campaigned against the placement of 20 police officers stationed at Greater Manchester schools.
Chants of ‘no police in schools’, ‘no justice no peace’ and ‘no more exclusions’ could be heard from the demonstration outside the central library. A small group of speakers addressed the crowd and called for no police presence in schools across the country and Greater Manchester.
