Carole Swords, a colleague of controversial Respect Mayor Luftur Rahman and a committed activist within the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, pleaded not guilty at the City of Westminster Magistrates.
Carole Swords was recently condemned by a number of groups, including the Community Security Trust, the Jewish anti-racism organisation, after she was filmed shouting at Jewish supporters, “Go back to Russia”
Sam Westrop, Director of the Institute for Middle Eastern Democracy, stated, “It’s yet another urgent clue as to the hateful rhetoric and extremism that plagues the Respect Party. Imagine if someone told a British black citizen to ‘go back to Kenya’. Rightly, there would be utter outrage.”
--------
Swords requested the trial date be moved because she is travelling on a convoy to Gaza to meet with senior officials of the terror group Hamas. The next court date is now set for the 3rd November at 2pm."
