Protestor guilty of inciting racial hatred
A man arrested during a protest outside the Danish Embassy has been found guilty of inciting racial hatred.
The rally outside the Danish Embassy in London on February 3 followed the publication of a series of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in European newspapers.
Mizanur Rahman, 23, was remanded in custody while sentencing is considered.
The jury was unable to reach a verdict on a separate charge of soliciting murder.
The rally in London was attended by around 300 protestors.
The court heard that Rahman had addressed the protest, and referring to British troops, had called for "blood running in the streets of Baghdad."
