British Man Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison For Hitting Police During Anti-Muslim Riots
JAKARTA - A British man was sentenced to three years in prison for involvement in anti-Muslim and anti-migrant riots last week.
Derek Drummond, 58, was sentenced to three years in prison at Liverpool Crown Court for pleading guilty to the riots and beating a police officer.
This sentence was first imposed on a case of chaos due to violence since the riots broke out after three teenage girls were killed in a knife attack on the town of the Southport seafront.
The sincere and collective sadness of Southport residents was effectively hijacked by this inhumane behavior, Judge Andrew Menary said.
