They've killed my son'

A GRANDMOTHER was allegedly tasered in the face by a police officer who kicked her son in the head.

Shameem Akhtar, 56, screamed "they've killed my son" in Urdu as Fahir Amaaz, 19, lay on the ground during the incident at Manchester airport on July 23.

Greater Manchester Police is investigating after footage of the incident-in which one officer suffered a broken nose - sparked protests after appearing online.

Shameem held a press conference yesterday alongside Fahir and her other son, Muhammad Amaad, 25, to "set the record straight" about the incident.

The family's solicitor, Aamer Anwar, said: "The family have been subjected to horrific racist and Islamophobic abuse on social media, and there has been a campaign of disinformation in an attempt to justify alleged police violence."
