The High Court has awarded Mohamed Ali Harrath, the CEO and Founder of the Islam Channel, £140,000 in libel damages against the Stand for Peace website and its director, Samuel Westrop, over false allegations that Mr Harrath was guilty of terrorism.
As well as awarding very substantial damages the judge, Sir David Eady, also confirmed in his reasoned judgment that “there was simply no evidence to support the allegation of terrorism” and that “the sum awarded should be such as to leave interested onlookers in no doubt as to the baselessness of the Defendants’ charge against [Mr Harrath]”
