The Government has commissioned an independent review into the unrest in Leicester last year that occurred between groups of young Muslim and Hindu men.

Leicestershire Police have made around 100 arrests after the inter-communal troubles in September led to vandalism and assaults.

Communities secretary Michael Gove has now commissioned an Independent Review into the disorder and has appointed Lord (Ian) Austin as chair.

Lord Austin will lead an independent panel of experts to work on understanding the origins of the unrest and explore how similar events can be prevented in the future.

Secretary of state for communities Michael Gove said: ‘Leicester has a proud history of community cohesion, which makes last year’s disorder all the more shocking and upsetting.

‘This review will build a thorough understanding of the specific events that took place and what can be learned from them.’

Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said: ‘I welcome the government’s announcement. I hope the review can move forward as swiftly as possible, whilst of course being thorough and given the attention it deserves.’
