Tjeerd RoyaardsIn the UK, five Just Stop Oil activists receive record prison sentences for planning to shut down the M25 highway.
Pedestriansfirst@royaards If you’ve not seen this already the judge Christopher Hehir who jails peaceful protesters for 5 years gave a sexual molester 1 year. And pro brexiteers engaged in violent assault and affray? He let them off.
Robin Adams@pedestrians1st @royaards This sexual molester, the police officer who took advantage of a drunk woman in his patrol car? Judge Hehir gave him a suspended sentence in order "to bring this sad and sorry tale to its end with a final act of mercy". The sentence was increased to 11 months on appeal.
@robinadams @royaards No. I was thinking of Mukhtar Jama who kissed and fondled the breast of a vulnerable woman in a hospital. He had previous form for such offences. Hehir recognised he was a danger to women but gave him only a 1 year sentence. You seem to have found a similar case in which offences against women get a lenient sentence from Judge Hehir.
