    Feras al-Jayoosi wore shirts supporting banned Palestinian groups in area of London with large Jewish population

    A man who wore T-shirts supporting banned Palestinian groups in Golders Green has admitted terrorism offences.

    Feras al-Jayoosi, 34, pleaded guilty to four counts of wearing an article supporting a proscribed organisation at Westminster magistrates court on Friday.

    The charges relate to him wearing T-shirts supporting the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades – the military wing of Hamas – and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Both groups are proscribed as terrorist organisations in the UK.

    Three of the charges relate to Jayoosi wearing the garments in Golders Green – an area of north London with a large Jewish population – on 8 and 9 June this year.

    The fourth relates to an incident at Barbury Castle, an Iron Age hill fort in Wiltshire, on 30 May.

    Jayoosi, from Swindon, stood in the dock to confirm his name, date of birth and address before pleading guilty to the charges.

    The chief magistrate, Paul Goldspring, adjourned sentencing to 17 December for reports to be prepared.

    “These are difficult cases to sentence,” he said. “There is a fine line between support for a legitimate cause and support for a proscribed organisation and you have entered your pleas on that basis.”

    He released Jayoosi, who the court heard has been diagnosed with autism, on conditional bail.


    Apparently it makes a difference where you wear your "terrorist" t-shirt or at least the headline suggests it does. Wearing an IDF t-shirt would be fine I presume. What a joke.
