Cheshire Woman Jailed for Islamophobic Facebook Threat
News summary

Julie Sweeney, a 53-year-old woman from Church Lawton, Cheshire, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison after posting an Islamophobic comment on Facebook, stating 'Blow the mosque up with the adults in it,' in response to a post about people helping to repair a mosque damaged during riots in Southport. Despite her previously clean record and her role as a primary carer for her husband, Judge Steven Everett emphasized that 'keyboard warriors' must take responsibility for their inflammatory language. Sweeney expressed remorse and stated she did not intend to incite fear, but the court deemed her actions reckless, especially given the recent violence and community tensions. The sentencing reflects the broader crackdown on individuals inciting violence or participating in recent far-right riots across the UK.
