Protester holding a sign at a demonstration for Saleem Osman

A protester holds a sign at a demonstration for Saleem Osman that reads “Saleem Osman Was Attacked By Cops! We Demand Justice.” Other protesters stand behind him.

On May 26, 1994, Saleem Osman, a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition, was violently 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.
