Three Muslim men from Derby have been jailed for distributing leaflets intended to stir up hatred against gays.

Ihjaz Ali, Kabir Ahmed and Razwan Javed were found guilty of stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation at Derby Crown Court.

Ali was jailed for two years. Ahmed and Javed have both been given 15-month sentences.

The men had distributed a leaflet entitled ‘The Death Penalty?’ outside their mosque ahead of a gay Pride parade.
