Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • A Birmingham-based rapper, Omar Abdirizak, known as Twista Cheese, has been convicted of posting a "menacing" video aimed at Tommy Robinson.
  • The video, which contained references to artillery and included a gun gesture while shouting "pow, pow, pow", received over 2 million views.
  • Despite pleading not guilty, Abdirizak was found guilty after a two-hour trial under the Communications Act 2003, with the prosecutor arguing it went beyond free speech.
  • The video was posted amidst rising tensions and was deemed to likely cause public apprehension of serious violence.
  • Abdirizak is on conditional bail pending sentencing scheduled for February 12, also facing charges for cannabis possession and a racially aggravated public order offense.
