:07:06. > :07:07.a community-support officer have both been convicted of misconduct
:07:08. > :07:10.following the murder of a man Bijan Ebrahimi, who was 44,
:07:11. > :07:14.was murdered in what was called a vigilante attack amid false claims
:07:15. > :07:18.he was a paedophile. He'd repeatedly called police
:07:19. > :07:20.for help in the days before his death, but officers
:07:21. > :07:22.were said to have dismissed him Disabled, depressed and vulnerable,
:07:23. > :07:36.but the court heard Bijan Ebrahimiwas failed by police,
:07:37. > :07:37.who saw him as a nuisance. In the summer of 2013,
:07:38. > :07:45.a neighbour, Lee James, entered his home and wrongly
:07:46. > :07:49.accused him of being a paedophile. Bijan Ebrahimi filmed his
:07:50. > :07:52.threats and dialled 999. The court heard that Bijan Ebrahimi,
:07:53. > :08:01.born in Iran, would often call police, and over the next couple
:08:02. > :08:08.of days he repeatedly dialled 101. He said neighbours were still
:08:09. > :08:14.calling him a paedophile and he asked for his local beat

:09:42. > :09:45.the evidence they have seen and heard during the trial
:09:46. > :09:47.has been heartbreaking. They did not take any notice of him,

:09:56. > :10:01.to hear and see how the police officers dealt with him
:10:02. > :10:04.while he was in custody The trial may be over,

:11:34. > :11:35.died in the last two days, and in some areas they are on the brink of
:11:36. > :11:40.starvation. There has been a month of heavy fighting across the
:11:41. > :11:46.province, Britain was involved, but as it stands, in a province of 14
:11:47. > :11:51.districts, all but two are either in Taliban hands or they are heavily

:13:39. > :13:41.about his treatment. In February he contracted pneumonia
:13:42. > :13:47.and died, aged just 20. No investigation has taken
:13:48. > :13:49.place into his death. It feels like he was ignored
:13:50. > :13:55.and dismissed throughout, especially during the last four
:13:56. > :14:00.years, and to carry on doing that, even though it is obvious
:14:01. > :14:03.that the care received was not good enough, for them to not
:14:04. > :14:13.investigate is unbelievable. The family have been told

:14:19. > :14:20.died of anything other Therefore, there will not be

:18:17. > :18:22.it is worth something. In most cases, it produced
:18:23. > :18:26.more harm than good. We're all mindful of what happened
:18:27. > :18:30.in Iraq in 2003, or what happened in Libya after the French

:27:55. > :27:55.will be hard to rekindle. In an age of spiralling sports right and the
