Protesters holding signs march at a demonstration for Saleem Osman
description: A group of protesters holding signs march at a demonstration for Saleem Osman. The first sign, which is slightly obscured, reads “Cops You Attacked The Wrong Cabbie! We Will Fight You.” The second sign reads “Not Your Target” and is written atop a bullseye design. The third sign is written in Korean. A police officer stands next to the protesters watching them. 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.
