Police urged to protect minority communities from rise in racial abuse
Racial justice campaign group Just West Yorkshire has written to the county's Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson to express its "deep concern" over an increase in racist incidents since the EU referendum.
"We have urged him to take concrete action to protect the safety of minority communities in the region," a spokesperson said.
"It is clear that since the referendum some people think they have a free licence to abuse without consequences."

The letter from Just West Yorkshire director Ratna Lachman (pictured) comes as new figures show the number of hate crime incidents reported to a national police portal since the EU referendum has been five times the typical weekly level.
From last Thursday to Wednesday this week 331 incidents were reported to the True Vision online site - equivalent to 47 every day.
The four-year-old gelding joined West Yorkshire Police's Mounted Section in May, joining the likes of Ledston, Ilkley and Breeze at the stables in Carr Gate.
Five names were selected for the final poll, with Stanley winning by more than 200 votes.
The name was put forward by a number of people, including Rebecca Milton, from Lepton, who was selected to meet the new recruit.
She chose it due to being a “proper” Yorkshire name, but coincidentally it also refers to a village in Wakefield.
Quote Message: I was thrilled that so many members of the public got involved with the competition to name our new horse. There were some fantastic suggestions and I know it was hard to whittle it down to five from all those submitted. Any of the five West Yorkshire themed names would have been suitable for him." from Ch Insp Chris Bowen Protective Services Operations, WYP
