From @haraaambanter - I am absolutely disgusted and mortified by the level of hate and ignorance shown by the cowards in this video. It is of a Syrian refugee who has been bullied constantly in Almondbury High School where apparently...this hasn't been taken seriously. We need to make some noise about this! *No one* should be treated like this...let alone someone who has lived through the trauma of war and displacement! Please share so we can get this issue taken seriously by the school. This is a letter from a solicitor refugee currently living in Huddersfield, he and his family came to the UK two years ago through a United Nations program assisting families affected by the ongoing war in Syria Jamals early years were defined by fear, flight, instability and struggle. Jamal's family originated from the city of Homs, in 2010 when Jamal was barely eight years old, a number of his family members were abducted by the Assad regime, they were horrifically tortured and one of their number murdered Jamal's family fearing for their lives fled to the nearest safe haven, Lebanon, as refugees. In 2016 the UN managed to secure the resettlement of Jamal's family to the UK, the family were installed in Huddersfield where Jamal and his sister (xxxx) attended xxxxxxx xxxxx School . Having escaped torture at the hands of the Assad regime, survived refugee conditions in a foreign land and finally been promised peaceful sanctuary in the UK the family began to put together the pieces of their shattered lives and rebuild a new one in what they hoped was their final home. Within a month of entering the UK education system, Jamal and his sister, the only Syrian children in their respective classes, were targeted and set upon by a number of the other students with a campaign of racist bullying. Jamal had been attacked verbally and physically numerous times both within the school as well as outside its precincts. The bullying and assaults were all reported to school staff who despite taking note of the incidents have failed to protect these children from ongoing harm. . #ayeshazr #syrianrefugee #syrian #refugee #bullying
