(National-UAE) Two Muslim men have become the first rival protesters to be jailed for attacking far-right activists during the UK riots.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned on Friday that authorities must “stay on high alert” for more far-right riots over the weekend — which will coincide with the start of the football season.
Sameer Ali, 21, and Adnan Ghafoor, 31, both from Leeds, West Yorkshire, were part of a group of Asian men filmed kicking and punching four white men, one of whom was draped in a Union flag and wearing a Union flag mask, last Saturday outside Leeds Art Gallery. They were jailed for 20 months and 18 months, respectively.
