Diane Abbott has defended the 'understandable anger and upset' of a furious mob of rioters who lit bonfires and hurled petrol bombs at officers in Dalston, east London, last night. The Shadow Home Secretary made the remarks after violence marred a protest over the death of a black father'who was wrestled to the ground by police in Hackney last week. Demonstrators last night barricaded part of Kingsland Road - close to where Rashan Charles died last week following a struggle with a police officer - with wheelie bins, mattresses and household debris. But speaking at a vigil in Dalston today, Mrs Abbott urged protesters to heed the wishes of Mr Charles' family who have called for peace following his death. Standing alongside the 20-year-old's grieving father Esa, she said: 'That is the call that every parent dreads. The call that tells you that your young child has died in those sorts of circumstances. I have been in contact with the police from the beginning but I thought it important to come here today to publicly show my support as a member of the community, as a mother and as your member of parliament.'
