Satellite block

The Wembley Conference Centre in north-west London blocked the black American Muslim leader, Louis Farrakhan - who is banned from the UK - from using a satellite link to address a rally organised by the Islamic People's Trust at the venue tomorrow. The Board of Deputies of British Jews had accused Mr Farrakhan of attempting to evade the ban. A Wembley spokesman said the company 'was concerned about the ramifications' of such an event.
