(BBC) An independent review into unrest in East Leicester in August and September last year has been announced.
Several days of vandalism, assaults, and attacks on property followed tensions involving mainly young men from Hindu and Muslim communities.
City mayor Sir Peter Soulsby set up a review but it stalled when the academic chosen to lead it stepped down.
Now a new panel, led by former Labour MP Lord Austin, will look into the events, the government has said.
‘Tolerance and diversity’
In March, Leicestershire Police secured a £1.3m grant to cover the cost of dealing with the unrest.
