The poor little rich kids who spout venom
RIGHT-ON CHEERLEADER
Farah Koutteineh, an international relations student at Westminster University, orchestrated the campaign demanding the sacking of Yusuf Kaplan. The 20-year-old identified the interfaith adviser as the ‘core problem’ at a meeting before the protest and led 30 demonstrators to his office where she egged them on in a chant of ‘shame’.
As head of the student Palestinian Society she has held events celebrating women including Leila Khaled, the world’s first female terrorist hijacker and later leader of the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The daughter of a charity director and a journalist, Miss Koutteineh is listed at the £530,000 family home in Twickenham, south-west London.
CHURCHILL CAFE ‘THUG’
Dimitri Cautain helped lead students who burst into a Winston Churchill themed cafe in January denouncing the wartime PM as a ‘racist’. Staff at the Blighty UK Cafe, who include Jewish and Muslim workers, were left terrified.
The students were accused of behaving like ‘fascist thugs’.
Mr Cautain was educated at the £18,000-a-year British International School in Thailand, where his father Jean-Francois Cautain held a European Commission post. His father is now the EU ambassador to Pakistan, based in Islamabad.
The social anthropology and politics student at the School of African and Oriental Studies is a union officer and lists ‘marching and pushing cops off campus’ among his interests.
At the protest, Mr Cautain helped carry the giant loudspeaker through which chants of ‘shame’ were made against Mr Kaplan. He did not respond to requests for comment.
RUGBY ‘REVOLUTIONARY’
Medical student and self- proclaimed ‘revolutionary’ Ayo Olatunji urged undergraduates to ‘disrupt’ Prevent even if it meant arrest.
Former public schoolboy Mr Olatunji, who is the black and minority ethnic students’ officer at UCL, studied at the private King’s School, Rochester, where he played for the rugby first XV.
The 21-year-old criticised Mr Kaplan at the demonstration and led a chant of ‘shame’ against Westminster University’s implementation of Prevent, before warning it would need more security guards to deal with the growing ‘ radical action’ against it. After his speech Mr Olatunji blocked the road and stopped a mother with a 15-month-old baby in her car from getting past, even as she pleaded with him.
SHAMED STUDENT CHIEF
Malia Bouattia, former hard-Left leader of the NUS, has been a passionate opponent of Prevent. She has taken part in videos calling for students to resist it, and attended the protest against Mr Kaplan in a T-shirt declaring the anti-Prevent slogan, ‘students not suspects’.
The 31-year- old was ousted as NUS president last year amid claims of anti-Semitism and concerns over her radical views.
In 2016, the Commons home affairs committee found her description of Birmingham University as a ‘Zionist outpost’ smacked of ‘outright racism’. She did not respond to a request for comment.
DEVOTED CORBYNISTA
Nisha Phillips, Soas student union officer, helped carry a giant banner at the demonstration and joined in chants denouncing Mr Kaplan.
She grew up in a middle-class suburb of Australian capital Canberra, where her mother is associate professor in human geography at the Australian National University.
Miss Phillips has been pictured on social media with Jeremy Corbyn. She took part in the protest at the Churchill themed cafe. She did not respond to a request for comment.
