1
The scales of justice
2
Weighed down on one side
3
Freemassons on the case
4
You know you're gonna get a rough ride
5
Hold tight, even if you know your rights
6
It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight
7
For ten years, one hell of a long time to rot in a cell
8
When you've committed no crime
9
Another innocent man forced to carry the can
10
Free Satpal Ram!
11
Whose word against who?
12
The degenerate crew out on the town
13
Thought they had something to prove
14
Self defence is no offence
15
Had to protect himself from the murderous fools
16
Cutting remarks on account of his race
17
A plate to the chest and a glass in his face
18
An Asian fights back
19
Can't afford to be meek
20
With your back against the wall
21
You can't turn the other cheek.
22
Back away all you trouble makers
23
Fix up your brains 'cos you're the biggest fakers
24
You come in the place
25
Do you know who you are?
26
Free Satpal Ram!

Satpal Ram has been in prison for 10 years now, unjustly convicted of murder. He was attacked in a restaurant in Birmingham by six racists. Having been glassed in the face he had no choice but to def
28
end himself. One of the attackers got injured and later died after refusing treatment. Satpal was subsequently charged with murder.
29
Satpal was provided with lawyers who refused to argue his case. They made him change his plea of self-defence to that of manslaughter. Most of the prosecution evidence came from the group that attack
30
ed Satpal.
31
The all-white jury missed vital evidence because no interpreter was provided. The judge said he would interpret but couldn't speak a word of Bengali.
32
The jury weren't asked to consider if Satpal's actions were in self-defence and found him guilty.
33
It's taken ten years to get the Criminal Justice System to allow any appeal.

Enough is Enough!
