murder of an iranian refugee in bristol four years ago has concluded that bristol city council and avonhowed institutional racism in their handling of the case. bijan ebrahimi was beaten to death by a neighbour after he was falsely accused of being a paedophile. mr ebrahimi had made repeated complaints to police, but an official report has accused the authorities of repeatedly siding with his abusers. our correspondent jon kay has the story. he came to britain for safety, but bijan ebrahimi was brutally beaten to death and his body set on fire. don't you dare take pictures of me, all right?! this is the neighbour who killed him, lee james, now serving life for murder. but this was not the first attack. today's report says time and time again — at different addresses, over several years — bijan alleged he'd been abused and attacked by a number of different people. but this report says he was treated as a nuisance by the authorities in bristol, with police and council staff often siding with his alleged abusers, rather than helping him. absolutely shocking and disgusting. now bijan‘s sist
