Following on from the Foot and Mouth demonstration, Wai Lam examines whether the British Chinese Community has made any progress on making its voice heard.
As a result of the allegations linking Chinese food with the Foot & Mouth Disease outbreak, the Chinese Civil Rights Action group (UK) is working with civil rights lawyer Imran Khan to prepare the claim for compensation. Please could you therefore complete the questionnaire to estimate the level of compensation to be claimed from MAFF.
There may not be anything in the pork but there's definitely something in the air. The Chinese community has been out in force in Manchester, supporting the actions of CCRAG, and encountering some resistance along the way. Stephen Wood took to the streets.
On Monday 23rd April 2001, the Chinese community in the Northwest showed their outrage at the
false foot and mouth allegations in a protest in Manchester.
Over a week after the demonstration and meeting with Nick Brown and MAFF on 8th April, we finally have a full statement refuting allegations over the Chinese scapegoating.
