Victims of hate crime in Wiltshire speak out as convictions go up in the county.
The force said the national rate for hate crime convictions is at 67%, but the county's most recent figures for September show it at 75%.
"We can't tackle it without people reporting offences like that," said PC Hassan Seggari, who has shared his story for hate crime awareness week.Speaking in a Wiltshire Police video, PC Hassan Seggari explained he was transporting a detainee who became abusive: "He said he would put a gun at my head and shoot me himself."I never had anybody like him. It's something I can't forget.
The force has also anonymously shared the experience of a custody officer who has been racially abused multiple times.One experience with a detainee involved a racial slur, followed by him hearing: "I don't want to see that, I don't want to speak to that.""He kept shouting it from the cell." There were 57 hate crimes reported in Wiltshire in September, more than 40 of which were recorded as racially motivated.
Chief Inspector Gill Hughes, the hate crime lead for Wiltshire Police, wants to encourage people to make reports."All forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable, and we will do all we can to investigate reports and ensure those who carry out these acts are appropriately dealt with."Panic and confusion at scene of Gaza City hospital blast
