Leicester disorder: Review panel call for evidence

A panel leading a review into the cause of disorder in Leicester has appealed for people with evidence to contact them in confidence.

Dozens were arrested after days of vandalism, assaults, and attacks on property in the east of the city in September 2022.

Former Labour MP Lord Ian Austin was appointed to lead the review when it launched in 2023. The panel is aiming to publish its findings in October.

The unrest followed tensions involving mainly young men from Hindu and Muslim communities, which culminated in large-scale disorder.

Lord Austin told Ben Jackson where the review is at, at the moment.
