Four arrested following Beeb's BNP documentary
Four men have been arrested today following the broadcast of a BBC documentary on the British National Party.
A 23-year-old Bradford man was arrested in connection with racially aggravated public order offences, and a 35-year-old man and a 40-year-old man, both from Keighley, were arrested in connection with conspiracy to commit damage. A 51-year-old Bradford man was also arrested in connection with racially aggravated harassment.
All four are being questioned at police stations in West Yorkshire.
A police spokesperson said: "West Yorkshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service are continuing to liase closely as part of the ongoing investigation."
The arrests were the result of an enquiry launched following the broadcast of the BBC programme 'Secret Agent' on Thursday July 15.
A Parliamentary Early Day Motion on issue, which acquired the backing of 43 MPs including Peter Mandelson and Frank Dobson, today stated: "[That this House] further notes that four BNP councillors were elected on 10th June in Bradford [and] considers that these victories were obtained by deception of the electorate; and calls on the councillors to resign and fight by-elections under their true colours."
