Jail time for UK men behind hate pamphlets

The three British men who were found guilty this month of inciting hatred against gays have each been sentenced to time in prison.

They had been arrested after handing out a series of pamphlets claiming that homosexuality could only be cured by the death penalty. It included an image of a mannequin hanging from a noose, and cited Islamic texts.

Ihjaz Ali will be jailed for two years, while  Mehboob Ahmed and Umar Javed received 15 months each.

Judge John Burgess told the men: "You have been convicted of intending to stir up hatred. It follows that your intention was to do great harm in a peaceful community."

"I am obviously keen to dissuade anyone from distributing this sort of material in the future," Burgess added.

We're sure these three brainiacs will not be missed.
