Thursday, February 11th 2010 00:00

Two men have been bailed after appearing before Magistrates in Bristol in connection with a documentary showing racial abuse.

Two of those appearing are only eleven years old.

Back in the summer, Tamanna Rahman and Amil Khan spent 8 weeks in the area, filming for Panorma.

During those two months, they became the victims of attempted muggings, were called "the most offensive racial insults", and had waterbombs, glass and rocks thrown at them.

One one occasion Amil was punched in the head.

Since then, police have charged four people.

22-year old Sean Ganderton and Martin Durnell, who is 18, are due before Bristol Magistrates later, jointly charged with racially aggravated harassment...

Two 11 year olds, who can't be named for legal reasons, are also expected at the Youth Court.

Between them, they're charged with several counts of attempted robbery and another case of racially aggravated harrasment.
