Britain First’s Jayda Fransen was ‘aggressive’ to Muslims, accused them of being rapists

LONDON: A Muslim man has described the deputy leader of Britain First Jayda Fransen as “aggressive” and accused her of calling Muslims “rapists,” a court in the UK has heard.
Fransen is standing trial alongside the leader of the far-right group, Paul Golding, accused of religiously-aggravated harassment, the Evening Standard reported. The pair deny the allegations.
Fransen and Golding were arrested in May last year as part of an investigation into the distribution of leaflets and online videos posted during a trial of three Muslim men and a teenager who were convicted of rape.
Video footage entitled “Muslim rapists 2” was played, which showed Faiz Rahmani standing with his brother Tamin Rahmani, who was one of the defendants, and his barrister outside the door to Canterbury Crown Court in southern England.
Faiz Rahmani is seen smoking a cigarette as Fransen walks up, steps toward them and starts questioning them.
In the video, Fransen can be heard asking: “Are you Muslim? What are you doing here? What are you in for?”
She also questioned them about Muslim men who were standing trial for “raping British kids,” the court heard.
In another video shown to the court, Fransen questions Rahmani about the “Muslim grooming scandal” and asks him: “Do you know about Rotherham?”
Asked why he was content to talk to Fransen, Rahmani said he did not know her and he did not want an argument with her but he wanted to address what she was saying. Rahmani told the court: “She was so aggressive, and so loud.”
