\n12 Year Old Somali Refugee allegedly drowned to death in the UK<\/span><\/h2>\neople around the world are demanding further investigation into the death of Shukri Abdi, a 12-year-old Somali refugee who drowned in River Irwell in Greater Manchester in June last year.\nInitially, police treated her death as a \u201ctragic incident\u201d not believing there were any suspicious circumstances. They claimed that Shukri had visited the river to \u201ccool off\u201d with her friends.<\/span>\n\nHowever, her family quickly dismissed such claims as Shukri didn\u2019t know how to swim and she had no reason to be at the river. Shukri had long been a victim to relentless school bullying and her family believed her death was related.<\/span>\n\nHer family claim that the <\/span>police failed<\/span><\/a> to carry out a full proper investigation and treated them differently due to their ethnicity. Shukri\u2019s mother Zam Zam Ture also suggested police were \u201cnot sympathetic\u201d when informing her of her daughter\u2019s death. She alleges police had dealt with her \u201charshly\u201d and somewhat indifferent to her case.<\/span>\n\nHer family also expressed their disappointment with Shukri\u2019s school, Broad Oak Sports College, in addressing the bullying taking place in the lead up to the incident. The school had long been the centre of controversy and recently underwent a rebranding and changed its name to Hazel Wood High School.<\/span>\n\nShukri\u2019s classmates and those that knew her have since spoken publicly on the severity of the bullying Shukri experienced while at school.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nFollowing extensive protests throughout UK, the family eventually won <\/span>the right to a proper inquiry<\/span><\/a> into the case. The inquest which is currently still in progress heard how one of the children in question laughed as Shukri drowned. It was also alleged that one child also threatened to \u201ckill\u201d Shukri if she refused to go into the water.<\/span>\n\nShukri came to UK with her family as a refugee from Somalia in 2017.<\/span>\n\nA <\/span>petition<\/span><\/a> has since been launched to garner support for Shukri Abdi and help establish justice.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
