Tensions over race, religion, and policing practices in the UK have been heightened in recent years.
The murder case has reopened a debate over race, religion and identity in the UK. Far-right figureheads, populist political leaders and even tech billionaire Elon Musk have joined a chorus alleging “two-tier” policing exists to protect ethnic minorities at the expense of the UK’s white majority population and called for the public wearing of the kirpan to be banned, in a country where carrying a weapon is illegal. Body camera footage released by police after Nowak’s stabbing shows him being handcuffed by officers despite telling them he has been stabbed and saying “I can’t breathe’’. In the footage, Digwa claims to the officers that he is a victim of a racial attack, and Nowak has ripped off his turban.
