Khaled Hajsaad, 24, was found guilty of wearing a green headband with the Shahada at a London rally, arousing suspicion of supporting Hamas, leading to a conditional discharge.
Judge Nina Tempia highlighted that the harm caused by Hajsaad's action was not classified as serious, with minimal budget spared from fines due to limited financial resources.
Bethan David of CPS noted that wearing the item in public might encourage support for Hamas, affirming swift prosecution for law-breaking related to proscribed organizations or public order threats.
