An important message from Philip Henson

The latest edition of the Central London Lawyer magazine is out now!! Thank you to all contributors of this edition. Details of how to contribute to the next edition is found at the link below: https://lnkd.in/eASMkCTT

President of Westminster & Holborn Law Society, Philip Henson, has today issued a statement about the abhorrent far-right violence and rioting across the UK.   “I have been appalled by the mindless far-right rioting and abhorrent violent behaviour over the last few days, which has targeted refugees, migrants and Muslim communities.   Disturbing reports are now circulating that far-right groups are seeking to intimidate and threaten asylum and immigration lawyers. We encourage all asylum and immigration lawyers and law centres to consider carrying out risk assessments regarding the potential threat of violence, especially at any open clinics, and to consider putting in place safety support plans for their teams. Please take any threats of violence or intimidation (whether online or in person) very seriously, retain evidence and make timely reports to the police.   Whilst lawyers should take all necessary precautions, we shall not be intimidated by these far-right thugs – because that is what they are, not “anti-immigration protestors”, as they are often incorrectly labelled in the press - who seek to divide us and to spread fear and hatred across the UK. The legal profession stands united”. #rioting #lawyers #westminsterandholbornlawsociety #solidarity #farrightviolence #immigrationlawyers #asylumlawyers #support #legalprofessionunited #pressrelease #ruleoflaw #intimidation #lawyersunited cc.
