These are the mugshots of Britain First's leader and deputy leader after they were jailed for 18 and 36 weeks respectively on charges of religiously-aggravated harassment. Paul Golding, 36, was found guilty of one charge of religiously-aggravated harassment and Jayda Fransen three counts of the same offence in relation to an incident in Kent.
They were arrested last May as part of a probe into the distribution of leaflets and online videos posted during a trial at Canterbury Crown Court during the trial of three Muslim men and a teenager later jailed for raping a 16-year-old in a flat above a takeaway.
Restaurant owner Tamin Rahmani, 38, of Northwood Road in Ramsgate, takeaway workers Shershah Muslimyar, 21, of Hovenden Close in Canterbury, Raffiullah Hamid,24 of no fixed abode and a boy from Ashfield who cannot be named for legal reasons were later found guilty and jailed for a total of 49 years in prison for the crime.
Both Fransen and Golding were convicted on a joint charge of religiously aggravated harassment after an incident on May 5 at 555 Pizza takeaway in Ramsgate, Kent, last year.
On May 9 Fransen visited an address in Gwynn Road in Ramsgate, on the understanding Tamin Rahmani lived there.
Kelli Best, who lived there, told the court she heard banging, rattling of the door handle and recognised Fransen.
She said Fransen was making racist remarks directed to Tamin and it made her feel very anxious and her children were scared.
Judge Justin Barron said the duo's words and actions 'demonstrated hostility' towards Muslims and the faith of Islam. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
