My Fellow Student Was Murdered (Bristol, UK): Wrongly Accused of Paedophilia

Bijan Ebrahimi was someone I went to college with. He was a really nice guy. He sounded a bit vulnerable, but there wasn't anything morally wrong about him. The last time I spoke with him was outside college, we were talking about his painting job and moving on from ICT. He always had a particular expression about him and talked funny. But we would never bully him for it.

He was falsely accused of being a paedophile; it led to him being harassed a lot. He filmed these people vandalizing his flowers, and that led to rumours of him taking pictures of children. So he was beaten unconscious and his body was burned in Brislington, Whitmore Ave.

While false rumours were circulating, Bijan was arrested.
"When the police took him away, everyone was cheering. Then he got released back into that."
Another resident said: "Whoever started those rumours now has to live with that. He wasn't a paedophile and now he's dead.
"That's a hell of a conscience to have. He was always out there, he loved his flowers.

He was one of the people I'd like to have met up with, after our college course. But it sounds like he was wrongly labelled, bullied, beaten and killed. I'm not one of these people who hate the police, but I seem to be losing more and more faith in them as time goes by.

-Daily Mail: This video was recorded by Bijan himself, of his killer.
-YouTube: Bijan Ebrahimi films the man who would later kill him
-YouTube: The murder of Bijan Ebrahimi قتل بیژن ابراهیمی در انگلیس - His family are in the video.
-Mirror.co.uk: Disabled man killed by vigilantes who thought he was a paedophile was 'let down by police', say family

The best article I can find for him is right here:
A modern British murder: Vigilante neighbours face jail after convictions over murder of disabled man Bijan Ebrahimi wrongly accused of paedophilia
Disabled, jobless and devoted to his garden, Bijan Ebrahimi was a 'caring, loving and unselfish' man. But when he stood up to local vandals, he was smeared as a paedophile, beaten up – and burnt to death

Vulnerable people like him shouldn't be put in nasty estates. He already had to move there because he was "burned out of" his last house. Why wouldn't the police or council help him? Why was no-one looking out for him?



The only recording I can find of his voice is where the thug (who later killed him) storms into his house, threatens Bijan, while he says "Get out of my house".

This is a very saddening news story and it makes me sick.

Damn this shit still happens in the western world?

We have a justice system for a reason. Mob/popular justice is pathetically prone to mistakes and ends up in murder like this all too often.
If you mean west as in US, than this happened in Bristol, England. Absolutely awful though, and it's scary to see it happening in places as "civilized" as Europe.
It's disheartening to see stuff like this happen. My condolences go out to Bijan's family.
This truly pains me to read. It disgusts me that people would single someone out with such a dangerous rumor because they happen to be a little awkward/insecure/different, and "vigilante justice" is even worse, especially because the guy was INNOCENT. I feel really sorry for Bijan and his family. Nobody deserves this, and shame on anyone who took any part in hurting him.

Just look above you...
If it's something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it!
I've just found this. They retweeted me.
