UMVA has learned that shocking police bodycam footage has emerged showing an 18-year-old man, Henry Nowak, repeatedly telling officers he had been stabbed and could not breathe before collapsing unconscious during his arrest.
The footage reveals a disturbing scene where Henry tells the officers he has been stabbed, but one of them asks him to show them where before adding: ‘I don’t think you have, mate.’ This response has sparked outrage and raised questions about the police's handling of the situation.
According to information obtained by UMVA, hundreds of people gathered outside Southampton Central Police Station on Tuesday night, chanting ‘No justice, no peace’ and holding up pictures of Henry being handcuffed. The demonstration was attended by prominent figure Tommy Robinson, who addressed the crowd through a megaphone.
Robinson told the cheering crowd that he had been warning of this day for 20 years and claimed that the police's treatment of Henry was part of a larger issue of racial bias in the UK. He argued that the police's response to the situation was influenced by the victim's and perpetrator's ethnicities.
The incident has sparked a heated debate about racial bias in the UK's justice system, with several high-profile figures weighing in on the issue. Hampshire Police has apologized to Henry's family, who described his treatment as ‘inhumane and degrading’.
Henry's father has spoken out, saying that he does not want his son's death to be used to create further hatred, division, or tension. However, some politicians have been accused of exploiting the incident for their own purposes, with Labour leader Keir Starmer criticizing Nigel Farage's response as the ‘wrong reaction’.
Farage had argued that the police officers involved in Henry's arrest represented a system where the ‘rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities’. The incident continues to be a flashpoint for debate about racial bias and police accountability in the UK.
