What's deeply disturbing is the government, again, thinking it has the right to interfere in the judiciary in pursuit of its questionable politics.

If you believe the judiciary are independent of the government, is it disturbing?

I believe it should be. The fact the government thinks it is above the law is disturbing.

That really is the most astonishing re-framing of events! Well done, a career in satire awaits.

From what I've read, that's what happened so I don't feel like I'm reframing anything.
Record away, you asked.

A complaint has been sent to the judiciary. If they assess and feel that poor judgement/bias played a part in the sentencing. It's upto them to decide the appropriate punishment.
As I understand, anyone can raise a complaint against a sentence issued from a court.

A bit more information. The judge Tan Ikram likely will face disciplinary after judges were informed last year they must recuse themselves from cases where they believe they have a strong opinion.

Your opinion on the conflict is pretty clear, so let's play "You are the Judge".
What would you, in your unbiased position, have done?
A suspended sentence/conditional discharge, put them in prison at great expense or something else?

I'm not sure you can even give out a sentence that low for what is apparently being deemed as a "terrorist offence", but here we go!
The average cost of a place in prison is £47,000 p.a. (give or take).
So that's £36k of tax payers money giving them room and board for three months, with almost no chance of rehabilitation and a high chance of re-offending.
Well done, Patrick (you chose the gif, not me!). Your laziness and inferior intelligence has shone through brightly.

Doubt it, well worth the deterrent factor alone.
Remember the Dartford crossing protestors , got 3 years in prison. Don't see anyone blocking major road networks scaling building structures

Not that they're in any way comparable, but yes I do.
