RABBLE ROUSERS WHO WANT TO MARCH TO REVOLUTION The Left-wing lawyer
AN outspoken lawyer who once said no Muslim should ever cooperate with British police joined demonstrators outside Kensington Town Hall.
Mohammed Tasnime Akunjee was responsible for a series of toxic slurs online in the days following the Grenfell Tower inferno.
He is at the centre of a tightknit circle of Left-wing community activists, including other lawyers and campaigners.
Writing online beside footage of the burning building, he said: ‘I bet you some Tories look at that video and see a solution to benefits claims... sick people.’
Claiming the tragedy will ultimately reveal ‘criminal profiteering and neglect for life’, Mr Akunjee also called for ‘some Tories’ to be wrapped in the cladding said to be partly responsible for the blaze.
He said: ‘Ask them if they trust in fire safety regs for council housing... people need to go to jail for a long time on this one.’
Mr Akunjee once represented Ibrahim Hassan, a close friend of Lee Rigby’s killers who was arrested after giving a TV interview.
Hassan, also known as Abu Nusaybah, accused MI5 of being complicit in his torture in Kenya and driving him towards extremism.
Mr Akunjee, a graduate of the University of Sussex, has gone on to specialise in representing Muslim families, in particular those accused of terrorist offences.
He said no Muslim should cooperate with the British police because the Government’s Prevent counter-terror policy is ‘straightforward, paid-for spying on the community’.
The lawyer lists controversial campaign group Cage – dubbed ‘apologists for terror’ – among his ‘likes’ on his Facebook page and includes its founder Moazzam Begg as a friend.
He follows its controversial research director Asim Qureshi on Twitter. Mr Qureshi sparked a firestorm of controversy by describing Islamic State butcher Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, as a ‘beautiful young man’.
