ALERT UPDATE: C4 change programme due to pressure from campaigners

Channel 4 has recut the programme ‘Who Represents Muslims’ which is due to be broadcast tonight. This has been done as a result of and thanks to campaign pressure. However the final cut has not been viewed, so it may still very probably contain inaccuracies, prejudice and bias. An update will be posted by tomorrow. There is still work to do to address the whole Channel 4 series and serious questions remain as to the role of Samir Shah as producer of this programme and his suitability to head the Runnymede Trust.
