Mohamed Hassn Hits with Serious Charges

Mohamed Hassn, 27, also known as Mohamed Al-Mail, from Stanmore, faces charges of causing racially aggravated harassment, alarm, or distress. The offence falls under tough laws — Section 4A of the Public Order Act 1998 and Section 31 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.

Protest Outburst Caught on Camera

The incident happened at a demo on 20 September 2024, and video footage quickly went viral online. Police launched a swift investigation and arrested Hassn the very next day. He was later released on bail.

Hassn is due to face Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 19 January 2026.
