A demonstration to protect our kids took place in Rochdale town centre on Saturday 24 April.
The protest, led by Parents Against Grooming UK, comes after it was revealed that convicted paedophiles Abdul Aziz, Adil Khan and Qari Abdul Rauf still live in Rochdale, nearly three years after they lost an appeal against being deported.
William Howarth, who founded the group, said: “We are a voice for survivors. This [the trio living locally] is retraumatising to all the children involved.”
The group, which included survivors and supporters, met at the cenotaph in Rochdale town centre with placards and banners before marching to Rochdale police station. Once outside the police station, a rallying cry of What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! came from the protestors before a chant of Do your job.
