Two individuals sentenced after shouting “Free Palestine” at identifiably Jewish couple in Manchester during height of Hamas war last year

Two individuals have been sentenced after shouting “Free Palestine” at an identifiably Jewish couple in Manchester last year.

The incident took place in the summer of 2021 in Crumpsall in Manchester. The victims were walking to family on Shabbat afternoon.

The police arrested two suspects – Majid Hussain and Shabna Khan– who pleaded not guilty at Manchester City Magistrates’ Court on 20th July 2022. They were found guilty at a trial at Tameside Magistrates’ Court on 31st October.

On 8th December they were sentenced, with Mr Hussain receiving a thirteen-month community order, 120 hours of unpaid work and compensation of £50 to each of the two victims. Ms Khan received a twelve-month community order, a fine of £184 and compensation of £50 to each of the two victims.

Campaign Against Antisemitism provided advice to the victims.

Campaign Against Antisemitism’s analysis of Home Office statistics shows that an average of over five hate crimes are directed at Jews every single day in England and Wales, with Jews more than five times likelier to be targets of hate crimes than any other faith group.
