Ehsan Hussain, a 25-year-old from Yardley, Birmingham, has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison for inciting racial hatred during civil unrest in August. Using the false identity 'Chris Nolan', he posted threatening messages on Telegram, urging violence against Muslims just hours before riots broke out in Birmingham. The Birmingham Crown Court heard that his posts, made in a group chat with over 12,000 members, included vile racial slurs and calls to 'take back what's ours'. Judge Melbourne Inman KC condemned Hussain's actions as part of a broader trend of exploiting tragic events to sow division and hatred in society. The police praised the public for reporting Hussain's posts, which were crucial in the investigation. Hussain expressed remorse for his actions, which led to significant unrest in the community.
