(BBC) A man has been charged over wearing a green headband with writing on it, said to give “reasonable suspicion” he supports Hamas.
Khaled Hajsaad, 24, from Birmingham, was accused over the presence of the Islamic Shehada on the item of clothing worn at a pro-Palestine rally in London on 25 November.
He was charged with wearing the headband “in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation, namely Hamas.”
The alleged offence was contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000.
