LONDON:<\/strong> Muttahida Qaumi Movement founder Altaf Hussain will go on trial in January next year at the UK’s Kingston Crown Court for allegedly using hate speech and encouraging an act of terrorism.<\/p>\n

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed to Geo News that Hussain\u2019s trial will start on January 31, 2022 and last for about three weeks.<\/p>\n

The MQM founder had sought to delay his trial indefinitely, citing serious health issues and COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, sources said.<\/p>\n

The CPS confirmed that Hussain\u2019s trial had been postponed twice before because of the pandemic and his own health issues.<\/p>\n

The MQM leader spent nearly a month in Barnet Hospital from mid-December last year to January 12, 2021\u00a0after being taken in an ambulance\u00a0for suffering “serious” COVID-19 symptoms.<\/p>\n

After returning home, Hussain fell ill again a week later and spent a week in the hospital. His doctors had told the court he suffered from a severe form of infection in multiple organs along with pneumonia.<\/p>\n

Since the last three months, the MQM founder has been doing well and has made several live speeches to his followers on social media.<\/p>\n

Case background<\/h2>\n

Hussain\u2019s last court appearance, virtually, was at the Old Bailey around a year ago where his lawyer told Justice May DBE that the MQM supremo didn\u2019t approve of the editorial stance by\u00a0Geo News<\/i> when he ordered his workers in August 2016 to attack several media houses in the port city of Karachi.<\/p>\n

His lawyer, Joel Bennathan, had told the court that Hussain was upset and agitated at the way three major news channels had censored his speeches and didn\u2019t provide him coverage prior to the infamous August 16, 2016 address, which ultimately led to the unraveling of his party and politics.<\/p>\n

At that hearing, Hussain\u2019s lawyer had applied for the complete dismissal of the hate speech charges against his client, but his application was dismissed.<\/p>\n

Hussain\u2019s lawyer said that the MQM founder had made the speech only for \u201cpolitical purposes\u201d, didn\u2019t encourage terrorism and didn\u2019t mean to do anything violent, damage properties, intimidate opponents or any state institution or media house.<\/p>\n

Hussain, 67, has been charged under the Terrorism Act, 2006 on suspicion of intentionally encouraging or assisting offences contrary to Section 44 of the Serious Crime Act, 2007.<\/p>\n

UK authorities launched the investigations into the matter after an FIR was lodged in Karachi naming the MQM leader as the instigator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
