'By using hateful language, he caused distress to all those he targeted'
A Bury man has been given a jail sentence for a string of hate crimes across Greater Manchester. Irfan Younis targeted a member of staff at a business in Prestwich, GMP call handlers, and strangers in the street with anti-Semitic verbal abuse.
When the woman declined to answer his questions and asked him to leave the premises, he verbally abused her using anti-Semitic slurs before making an offensive hand gesture and riding away on his bike, leaving the woman feeling deeply hurt and shaken. The woman reported it to police officers who were in a nearby shop and provided a statement describing the incident.
Younis, from the Seedfield area of Bury, was also sentenced for two other offences. On December 3 2023 he called 999 on three occasions and verbally abused Greater Manchester Police call handers whilst again referring to the conflict in the Middle East. On December 5th Younis shouted racial abuse at strangers who were going about their business in Bury town centre.
Today at Manchester Magistrates he was sentenced him to a total of 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, for all three offences, including an uplift for the hate element. During the period of suspension he must complete a 12 month drug treatment order.
