A Birmingham man has been sentenced to 20 months in jail for posting a torrent of Islamophobic abuse on Twitter.
Rhodenne Chand claimed he was ‘venting’ in the aftermath of the Manchester and London Borough terror attacks last year when he sent out 32 hateful tweets within the space of a few days.
West Midlands Police found Chand’s rhetoric was threatening specifically towards Muslim and Pakistani communities.
Rhodenne Chand has been sentenced to 20 months in jail for tweeting a volley of Islamaphobic abuse last June in response to London and Manchester terror attacks
West Midlands Police called Chand’s messgaes ‘totally unacceptable’ and an ‘expression of animosity’ towards Muslim and Pakistani communities
Some of the messages sent in June 2017 encouraged violence against Muslims and for mosques to be attacked.
In one, Chand claimed he wanted to ‘slit a Muslim’s throat’.
He was charged with publishing threatening, abusive or insulting material intended to stir up racial hatred.
Superintendent Mat Shaer said police will not tolerate hate crime on social media.
‘The law is careful to try and not penalise expression of opinion, even in strong and possibly offensive terms,’ he said.
‘But Chand’s tweets were a much baser expression of animosity towards a section of society and were totally unacceptable.’
‘We take hate crime very seriously and anyone found to be stirring up hatred on the grounds of race, religion, sexuality, or disability could find themselves in court and facing a criminal conviction.’

As if it wasn't bad enough worrying about White Right-Wing thugs, we have this imbecilic Indian variety to put up with.
