On 16th January 1989 a young Somali man was racially abused, assaulted and stabbed to death on the Cowgate in Edinburgh.

His name was Axmed Abuukar Sheekh. He was 28 years old, a student and refugee.

At the time, Scotland was thought to be in a state of denial about racism. People said "it didn't happen here" and called it "the English disease."

Mark Stephen hears from members of the Lothian Black Forum, friends and supporters who stood up against racism and fought for justice for Axmed and his family.
