THE GUARDIAN: Ihjaz Ali, Kabir Ahmed and Razwan Javed were first to be convicted of stirring up hatred on grounds of sexual orientation

Three men have been jailed after becoming the first to be convicted of stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation for handing out a leaflet calling for gay people to be executed.

Ihjaz Ali, Kabir Ahmed and Razwan Javed gave out the pamphlet, entitled The Death Penalty?, which showed an image of a mannequin hanging from a noose and quoted Islamic texts that said capital punishment was the only way to rid society of homosexuality. » | Press Association | Friday, February 10, 2012
