Two brothers will not face a retrial following an incident at Manchester Airport in July 2024 that sparked widespread public attention and protests.

Muhammad Amaad and Mohammed Fahir Amaaz had denied charges of assaulting a Greater Manchester Police officer during the incident. The case will not proceed to a third trial.

The incident involved PC Zachary Marsden and resulted in footage showing an officer kicking a man who was on the ground. The video footage circulated widely on social media and prompted public demonstrations.

Protests were held following the incident, with demonstrators carrying placards and expressing concerns about police conduct. The case has been closely watched as part of broader discussions about policing practices.

Greater Manchester Police have not provided additional details about the decision not to pursue a retrial. The incident occurred during what has been described as a confrontation at the airport involving multiple individuals.

The case represents the conclusion of legal proceedings that have extended over several months since the original incident took place in summer 2024.
