A teacher who carried a placard at a pro-Palestinian protest depicting Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman as coconuts has been found not guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence.
Marieha Hussain, 37, of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire denied the charge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
She carried a picture showing the faces of the then Prime Minister and Home Secretary superimposed on coconuts under a palm tree in November 2023.
Her defence said the placard was not racist, but satirical and humorous.
