Protesters and police clash after six Kurdish terror suspects arrested in London

 

Protesters clashed with police in north London after six suspected members of the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party, known as the PKK, were arrested as part of a significant counter-terrorism investigation.

 

Eight addresses, including the Kurdish Community Centre in Haringey, were raided by police on Wednesday morning and four men and two women aged between 23 and 62 were detained under section 41(1) of the Terrorism Act 2000.

 

One witness said that protesters, who were chanting “Free Kurdistan”, converged outside the community centre after the raids at around 11am before being moved on by police.

 

As the police attempted to move them to a different location, some protesters appeared to have become engaged in confrontations with the police.

 

The PKK is a Kurdish militant organisation that largely operates in the mountainous regions of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq. The group was proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK government in 2001.

 

A Met Police spokesman said: “Earlier today, a group of protestors gathered in the vicinity of the Kurdish Community Centre in Portland Gardens, Haringey following the arrest of six people this morning on suspicions of terrorism offences linked to the PKK.

 

“Officers continue to carry out related search activity at the community centre, which remains closed to the public.

 

“Additional officers have also been deployed to the area in relation to the protest activity.

 

“Four protestors have been arrested on suspicion of support for a proscribed organisation, assaulting an emergency worker, making threats to kill and a racially aggravated public order offence.

 

“We recognise the impact that this action has had on people in the community and we will work hard to offer support alongside our partners.

 

“Local officers will continue to have a presence in the area over the coming days and we’d urge the public to speak to them if they have continuing concerns.”

 

Acting Commander Helen Flanagan, from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command said: “This activity has come about following a significant investigation and operation into activity we believe is linked to the terrorist group PKK. These are targeted arrests of those we suspect of being involved in terrorist activity linked to the group.

 

“I hope that these arrests show that we will not tolerate any sort of terrorist activity and that we will take action where we believe there is harm being caused to communities here in the UK or elsewhere.”

 

Searches are continuing at eight addresses in London and police said the community centre could be closed for a fortnight while officers continue to investigate.

 

Ms Flanagan added: “This investigation and activity is about protecting all of our communities, but particularly those in our Turkish and Kurdish communities. I would urge anyone who thinks they may have been affected or targeted by those linked to the PKK to get in touch.

 

“We are also very mindful that closing the community centre may cause inconvenience to some people. Officers will be working as quickly as they can, but these are very serious allegations so it is important that we take care in identifying and gathering as much evidence as we can.”

 

Ishak Milani, of the Kurdish People’s Assembly in the UK, said: “We, the Kurdish community in London, strongly condemn the recent unjust and heavy-handed raid conducted by British police on our community spaces.

 

“This aggressive act is not only an attack on our people but also an affront to the principles of democracy, justice, and human rights that the UK claims to uphold.

 

“We demand accountability for this raid and a clear explanation for the actions taken.”

Germany: Man Criticizes Judge Who Fined Syrian for Raping 15-Year-Old Girl, Gets Fined Twice as Much

 

A German man who described a judge as “obviously mentally disturbed” — after the judge issued a light sentence to a Syrian who raped a 15-year-old girl — was slapped with a €5,000 fine for “insulting” the judge. This fine given to Paul S., whose name has been changed to protect his identity, was fine almost double the fine given to the Syrian rapist. The Syrian not only did not have to serve prison time but was even complimented during his trial by the district judge for his integration efforts.

 

The judge in the case issued a suspended sentence, a form of probation, to the 30-year-old Syrian rapist, and he only had to pay his victim the sum of €3,000.

 

Paul S. wrote an angry email to the district court judge due to the sentence, which he found to be unfair.

 

The penalty issued against Paul S. was later reduced after an appeal, with the man ordered to pay a third of the original fine.

 

German news outlet NIUS obtained documents related to the case from the Wiesbaden District Court, which showed the prosecutor charged Paul S. due to his email, which was allegedly written in a “defamatory manner.” The man described the judge as “mentally disturbed.”

 

The rape case originally took place in Osnabrück in 2022 when a drunk 30-year-old Syrian raped a 15-year-old girl who was simply walking home. The judge only sentenced the Syrian to two years’ probation with no prison time.

 

The judge not only issued the man no prison time, but actually complimented him during his sentencing due to the man’s “positive” development in German society.

 

The judge said these words verbatim at a rape trial in which the man was convicted: “You are well on your way to becoming a completely normal citizen here.”

 

The judge the also literally said that the rape intensity was “at the lower end.”

 

Germany is increasingly raiding and prosecuting critics of government officials and politicians for “insults.” These insults can be as simple as calling a politician an “idiot,” or in the case of Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, the “worst foreign minister ever.”

 

Free speech advocates say that Germany is veering towards autocracy, where any critic of the government can face police raids and prosecutions. In some cases, courts have overruled these fines and prosecutions in order to preserve free speech rights.

Muslim schoolgirl admits lying that her teacher was Islamophobic - which led to him being decapitated by a jihadist - because she was suspended for two days and worried her parents would be angry

 

The Muslim schoolgirl who accused her teacher of Islamophobia and began rumours that led to a jihadist decapitating him in the street in France has admitted lying and apologised to the victim's family in a remarkable court hearing today.

 

History and geography teacher Samuel Paty was murdered on October 16, 2020 by Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old Islamist radical of Chechen origin.

 

Anzorov tracked down 47-year-old Paty and brutally hacked his head off after seeing pictures and videos of him circulated on social media as part of a ruthless campaign of harassment.

 

It began after the schoolgirl in question claimed that Paty had ordered Muslim students to leave his classroom while he showed the rest of the class caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad by satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

 

But she revealed today that she had not even been present in the class and invented the lie, fearing repercussions from her parents after she was suspended two days for bad behaviour.

 

The student, who was 13 at the time of the murder and whose identity remains protected due to her age, cried as she addressed Paty's family.

 

'I know it's hard to hear, but I wanted to apologise… I wanted to apologise sincerely. I'm sorry for destroying your life,' she reportedly said through tears.

 

'I apologise for my lie that brought us all back here,' she added, admitting to those in attendance, including the accused: 'Without me, no one would be here.'

 

The schoolgirl's father, Brahim Chnina, is accused of launching the online harassment campaign against Paty, while other teen students were tried last year after they identified him for the attacker in exchange for a few hundred euros.

 

Anzorov, who had requested asylum in France and travelled more than 60 miles to cut down Paty in public, was killed by police shortly after the murder near the school in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine west of Paris.

 

Paty is regarded as a free-speech hero by many in France.

 

He had shown the Charlie Hebdo caricatures to students as part of an ethics class in which his pupils were discussing the fallout of the 2015 terror attack on newspaper's offices in which 12 people were murdered by extremists.

 

But he had not ordered any students to leave the room, instead telling them what he was going to do as part of the ethics lesson before inviting them to turn away if they thought they would be offended by the caricatures.

 

Seven men and one woman are appearing at the Special Assize Court in Paris amid the trial over his murder, which is set to last until December 20.

 

Chnina is one of them, facing charges of association with a terrorist organisation for his alleged involvement in the online campaign targeting Paty.

 

Six students, including Chnina's daughter, were tried last year for their role in Paty's death.

 

The schoolgirl had accompanied her father to file a complaint at the time. 'I wanted to tell my parents that it was false, I knew that my father was not going to do anything to me , but I was afraid to say it,' she said in court today.

 

After Paty's murder, she was taken into police custody, during which time she continued to lie. 'My teacher had been decapitated, my father was in police custody, I couldn't say it was false,' she said.

 

She finally confessed the truth after 30 hours and two police interviews.

 

The schoolgirl received an 18-month suspended sentence for the slanderous allegations she made against Paty that ultimately proved the catalyst for his murder.

 

Her five co-defendants, all of whom were aged 14 or 15 at the time of the murder, faced charges of criminal conspiracy with the aim of preparing aggravated violence.

 

Four were handed suspended sentences but one received a six-month term with an electronic tag after being identified as the person who pointed Paty out to Anzorov.

 

Also on trial at the court in Paris is Abdelhakim Sefrioui, a 65-year-old Franco-Moroccan Islamist activist.

 

He and Chnina spread the teenager's lies on social networks with the aim, according to the prosecution, of 'designating a target', 'provoking a feeling of hatred' and 'thus preparing several crimes'.

 

Both men have been in pre-trial detention for the past four years.

 

Between October 9 and 13, Chnina spoke to Anzorov nine times by telephone after he published videos criticising Paty, the investigation showed.

 

Sefrioui meanwhile posted a video criticising what he considered to be Islamophobia in France and describing Paty as a 'teaching thug'.

 

He insisted to investigators he was only seeking 'administrative sanctions' against Paty, not violence.

 

Two young friends of the attacker are facing even graver charges of 'complicity in terrorist murder', a crime punishable by life imprisonment.

 

Naim Boudaoud, 22, and Azim Epsirkhanov, 23, a Russian of Chechen origin, are accused of having accompanied Anzorov to a knife shop in the northern city of Rouen the day before the attack.

 

'Nearly three years of investigation have never managed to establish that Naim Boudaoud had any knowledge of the attacker's criminal plans,' his lawyers Adel Fares and Hiba Rizkallah said.

 

Boudaoud is accused of accompanying Anzorov to buy two replica guns and steel pellets the day of the attack.

 

Epsirkhanov admitted he had received 800 euros from Anzorov to find him a real gun but had not succeeded.

 

Four other defendants interacted with Anzorov online prior to Paty's murder.

 

Yusuf Cinar, a 22-year-old Turkish national, shared a jihadist Snapchat account with him, that later published images of Paty's killing.

 

Ismail Gamaev, a 22-year-old Russian of Chechen origin with refugee status, and Louqmane Ingar, also 22, exchanged jihadist content on a Snapchat group with Anzorov. The first posted an image of Paty's head with smiley faces after the killing.

 

The only woman on trial is 36-year-old Priscilla Mangel, a Muslim convert who conversed with Paty's killer on X, describing the teacher's class as 'an example of the war waged by (France's) Republican institutions against Muslims'.

 

Thibault de Montbrial and Pauline Ragot, lawyers for Mickaelle Paty, one of the sisters of the murdered teacher, said his killing had highlighted the 'depth of Islamist infiltration in France'.

 

The trial should 'allow our society to become aware of a mortal peril', they added.
