Iraqi Man Threatened to Kill Church Members
Zana Hassan interrupted a Sunday afternoon church service in Barnard Castle, County Durham on July 9, 2017 “shouting and swearing.” After being arrested by police, he threatened to “kill all the English,” making references to the war in Iraq. He was later convicted of a racially aggravated offense.
Hassan, who had been in the UK since 2008 "illegally without permission to remain," admitted to the racially aggravated public order offense that took place on Sunday July 9th. Despite calls from magistrates for him to face more serious charges, lawyers for the Crown Prosecution Service deemed the offense to be “low-level disorder.” Hassan was given a conditional 18-month discharge and also ordered to stay one hundred yards away from the church.
