Landmark ASBO for extremist from London (20 February 2014)

Duncan Lewis, Crime Solicitors, Landmark ASBO for extremist from London

A man from east London has been given a “landmark” anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) for his part in spreading extremist religious views in the capital, the Old Bailey ruled on Wednesday.

Twenty-year-old Jordan Horner's restrictive ASBO with a range of conditions which aim to cut down on his negative, harassing behaviour including preventing him from discussing Sharia Law with community members and carrying a megaphone, is unprecedented in the UK.

Horner, from Walthamstow, has been involved with extreme religious groups in London for several years and has been at the forefront during street protests and vigilante patrols promoting a so-called 'Sharia State' and other extreme Islamic views. Police also revealed that he had been caught giving out leaflets and posters relating to his extremist views in the centre of the city.

Waltham Forest police, the Crown Prosecution Service and Waltham Forest Council spearheaded the case that will now see Horner subjected to conditions that will forbid him from entering any educational establishment in the UK and frequenting public places except for any Islamic cultural Centre or mosque.

Mark Collins, Commander Chief Superintendent of Waltham Forest Borough said: “The granting of an ASBO against Jordan Horner sends a clear message that extremist behaviour will not be tolerated on our streets.”
