‘This is what a councillor is supposed to do’: Mothin Ali on false accusations of rioting.
The Green party councillor for Gipton and Harehills in Leeds was accused by the far right of taking part in rioting when he was trying to calm tensions.
"People still are accusing me of being a rioter," said Mothin Ali, the Green party councillor for Gipton and Harehills in Leeds.
It is true he was there on Thursday night when a police car was turned on its side, projectiles were thrown at riot police and a doubledecker bus was set alight in a night of unrest triggered when police turned up to help social services take some children into care.
But far from being a rioter, it was Ali, and others in the community, who stood in front of police in efforts to protect them.

Iranian artist Mohammad Barrangi opens Leeds show exploring disability and migration
Paralympian Mohammad Barrangi hopes his work will help people think of human stories behind headlines.
A decade ago, the artist Mohammad Barrangi was representing Iran as a Paralympic sprinter.
Barrangi is about to open a major show in Leeds that shines light on his remarkable story of turning what may seem like adversity into endless possibility.
“The Sea is Stormy”, an installation by Iranian born artist Mohammad Barrangi at his exhibition “One Night, One Dream, Life in the Lighthouse” which opens on 1 May at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds.
The exhibition features Barrangi’s innovative printmaking process together with sculpture, installation and sound. He weaves a dreamlike universe from childhood memories and Persian mythology, revolving around the story of a young Iranian girl’s arrival on the English coast, and contemplating his own experiences of migration and disability. The exhibition is part of the Leeds-wide Smeaton300 programme in celebration of the tercentenary of the UK’s first civil engineer, John Smeaton.
Born without the use of his left arm, Barrangi has developed a unique method of covering paper, walls and sculptures with exquisitely coloured layers of imagery and text. This new body of work draws on?the wealth of objects, artefacts and books he encountered in the University’s Archives, including Iranian calligraphy, Middle Eastern textiles and manuscripts and early European scientific illustrations.?After representing Iran internationally as a paralympic sprinter, Barrangi came to the UK in 2017.

Iranian artist Mohammad Barrangi opens Leeds show exploring disability and migration
Paralympian Mohammad Barrangi hopes his work will help people think of human stories behind headlines.
A decade ago, the artist Mohammad Barrangi was representing Iran as a Paralympic sprinter.
Barrangi is about to open a major show in Leeds that shines light on his remarkable story of turning what may seem like adversity into endless possibility.
Iranian born artist Mohammad Barrangi poses by “A Girl Dancing on her Hands and Another Offering Apples” at his exhibition “One Night, One Dream, Life in the Lighthouse” which opens on 1 May at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds.
The exhibition features Barrangi’s innovative printmaking process together with sculpture, installation and sound. He weaves a dreamlike universe from childhood memories and Persian mythology, revolving around the story of a young Iranian girl’s arrival on the English coast, and contemplating his own experiences of migration and disability. The exhibition is part of the Leeds-wide Smeaton300 programme in celebration of the tercentenary of the UK’s first civil engineer, John Smeaton.
Born without the use of his left arm, Barrangi has developed a unique method of covering paper, walls and sculptures with exquisitely coloured layers of imagery and text. This new body of work draws on?the wealth of objects, artefacts and books he encountered in the University’s Archives, including Iranian calligraphy, Middle Eastern textiles and manuscripts and early European scientific illustrations.?After representing Iran internationally as a paralympic sprinter, Barrangi came to the UK in 2017.
