Sikh Protests in Luton
In the UK a large number of members of the English Defence League (EDL) joined protests by members of Sikhs community in the town of Luton, 50 km away from the city of London. The protestors are furious with the rising number of sexually exploited women in their community by British-Pakistani Muslims.
After the police did nothing about a Sikh woman who was beaten and sexually assaulted by a “Muslim man”, a protest took place outside of the police station. Members of the EDL wore a rumal, a traditional Sikh headscarf, to signify their support for the community.
Female protesters stopped traffic near the station by laying down in the dual-carriage. The purpose of the protest was to bring attention to the issue of young girls and women being targeted by men from the Pakistani Muslim community.
