A teacher who posted a picture of Hitler on Facebook alongside the caption “you were right” has been fined, after he was reported to police by a Jewish student.
Mahmud Choudhury, from Tower Hamlets, pleaded guilty to the racially aggravated offence. He was fined £465 at Bromley Magistrates Court on Tuesday, but was told he would still be allowed to teach.
The 35-year-old was prosecuted after he shared a photograph of Hitler on Twitter last July, accompanied with the words: “Yes man, you were right. I could have killed all the Jews, but I left some of them to let you know why I was killing them.”
Mr Choudhury added his own caption: “Yes now we can see why… #ProtectiveEdge.”
