Charlene Downes (pictured) disappeared on 1 November 2003, when she was just fourteen years old, from her home town of Blackpool.

She was targeted by an Islamist grooming gang who abducted her, subjected her to sexual abuse, murdered her, then minced her body into kebab meat.

Charlene's murder was part of a protracted local Islamist grooming problem in Blackpool, where dozens of underage girls have been targeted, "swapping sex for food, cigarettes and affection".

According to an internal police report, Downes was one of sixty girls in Blackpool, some as young as eleven, who had been groomed by men to carry out sex acts.

What happened to Charlene was horrific, but the only people to have been convicted of any crimes are Charlene's brother and sister, both convicted of "assaulting" the suspects accused of murdering her.

After two failed trials to convict Charlene's murderers, the suspects were released. One of them went on to be convicted of assaulting an eighteen year old girl.

We demand justice for Charlene Downes, regardless of how much time has passed. She was an innocent victim of a grooming gang and deserves to be remembered.

Britain First and the family of Charlene Downes are calling for a public inquiry to look once again at the evidence and the failings by Lancashire Police which allowed a gang of paedophile murderers to walk free.

Why are we still letting these type of people into OUR country?

Evil monsters … hell on them

LETS GET THESE PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS

God bless the poor lass. Never forget her. Innocent and let down by authorities.

Come on Priti, we are simply asking for justice from the Government that boasts of being a Government of law and order.

This is horrible. We must pursue justice for Charlene Downes. I thank Britain First for refusing compromise and demanding justice. These pedophiles, murderers, and jihadists must be brought to book. Most importantly, we must take our country back and prevent the calamitous tragedy of becoming a minority in our own land.

Disgraceful that the perpetrators have not been convicted of this heinous crime & other serious allegations.

Despicable cowardice by the authorities to prevent this kind of behaviour. Perhaps those in power think that we all need to accept it in the name of inclusion. Lancs Police no doubt turned a blind eye like in so many other areas of the UK. They need to be reminded of their duty to the people and put an end once and for all to this obnoxious cultural behaviour from a certain religious background.

We have been tolerant for far too long. Migrant Crime is a statistic the Government is frightened to publish. Also short sentences for rape, rape of minor, assault with a weapon is a major area of concern. We need to see re-offender statistic to pressure for longer sentences. You cannot undo an evil culture that excuses rape and violence.
