Man cleared of Griffin race abuse
Updated on 04 November 2009
An Asian man has been cleared of racially abusing BNP leader Nick Griffin.
Tauriq Khalid, 23, denied shouting "white b*******" at far-right demonstrators in his home town of Burnley, Lancashire, in November last year.
A jury of five women and seven men cleared Khalid of one count of using racially abusive threatening behaviour after deliberating for 45 minutes following a three-day trial at Preston Crown Court.
