Charges filed for threats against Yahya Hassan The controversial poet Yahya Hassan reported 27 threats against him. Police say six were severe enough to investigate, and one person is now facing charges
Police have filed charges against a 15-year-old boy for threatening the poet Yahya Hassan.
Hassan reported 27 different threats made against him on Facebook. The 18-year-old poet with Palestinian roots is known for this criticism of both Islam and Middle-Eastern immigrant communities where, he says, neglect is rife.
Police report that of the 27 threats, six were sufficient to warrant thorough investigations. While two people have so far been charged, charges against one were dropped.
