23:27Now PlayingA disturbing case has erupted in the UK where 29-year-old refugee Heba Alhayek, who claimed asylum saying she was fleeing Hamas persecution in Gaza, now faces potential deportation after being convicted under the Terrorism Act. Just 7 days after the horrific October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 Israelis when fighters crossed the border using paragliders, Alhayek and two others displayed paraglider imagery at a pro-Palestinian protest in London. Despite acknowledging "a reasonable person would have seen and read that" the paraglider images referred to glorifying the deadly Hamas assault, the judge, Tan Ikram, handed down mere 12-month conditional discharges. Outrageously, Ikram claimed he decided "not to punish" them as he accepted they weren't "seeking to show any support for Hamas," even though that is illegal under British law. Adding to the controversy, it was revealed that Judge Ikram had previously "accidentally" liked a social media post branding Israel a "terrorist state." Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman blasted that "with anti-Semitism at an all-time high, judges must be impartial and beyond reproach. Justice must be done, and it must also be seen to be done. The sentence must be reviewed." The Home Office is now reviewing Alhayek's refugee status, saying "supporting banned terrorist groups will not be tolerated."
