(Jewish News) A notorious Islamist activist, who was at the centre of one of the recently elected pro-Palestine [MPs’] election campaigns, has been jailed for attempts to spark “immediate unlawful violence.”
Majid Novsarka, also known as Majid Freeman, was sentenced to 22 weeks in prison after being convicted of public order offences after riots flared in his home city of Leicester in September 2022.
Freeman was previously at the centre of the pro-Palestine MP Shockat Adam’s election campaign in Leicester South which saw him oust former Labour minister Jonathan Ashworth in the July general election.
Riots had erupted in Leicester on September 17, 2022, over tensions between Muslim and Hindu communities.
