(Jewish News) A minister has suggested a judge accused of giving “lenient sentences” for terrorism offences should be investigated for appearing to support a pro-Palestine social media post.
The Home Office’s Chris Philp told MPs he would expect the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) to examine the matter, as the Commons discussed antisemitism in the UK.
He was responding to Conservative former minister Sir Michael Ellis, who said the failure of police to deal with incidents in marches in London is a “historic disgrace that has unleashed more attacks.”
Three women in their 20s were found guilty of a terrorist offence for holding images of paragliders at a pro-Palestinian march in central London the week following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
