Protesters holding signs march at a demonstration for Saleem Osman
Description
A group of protesters holding signs in English, Chinese, and Korean march on the sidewalk during a demonstration for Saleem Osman. One of the English signs features the words “Police the Police Now!” alongside a drawing of a police officer wielding a baton. The other English sign, which is slightly blurred, reads “Saleem Osman Was Attacked By Cops! We Demand Justice.”
On May 26, 1994, Saleem Osman, a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition, was assaulted by police and arrested on fabricated charges. Over a hundred Asian Americans and yellow cab drivers marched from Police Plaza to Central Booking the following day in protest of this unlawful arrest.
