Anti-Fascists Online: Community leader appeals for calm after alleged 'race attacks' in Hyde and Rochdale: A community leader has appealed for calm after two alleged ‘race-hate’ attacks. Afzal Khan, former Lord Mayor of Manchester and joint chairman of the Muslim-Jewish Forum, spoke out after the incidents in Hyde and Rochdale.

Police said both were being regarded as racially-motivated hate-crimes because they were perceived as such by the alleged victims. Coun Khan said: "We all condemn any form of violence no matter who it is committed by. It is the duty of everyone who has information to come forward and help the police. "Retaliatory or tit-for-tat attacks will not help."

Two teenagers were allegedly beaten by a gang of up to eight Asian men in Hyde at the weekend. Daniel Stringer-Prince, 17, suffered a fractured skull and two fractured eye sockets. His best friend Kavan Brown, also 17, suffered a broken nose.
