LONDON: A British court sent a stern warning to thugs using social media to incite riots by sentencing a man to four years in jail after he admitted to inciting public disorder on Facebook during riots in England on August 9 this year.
Jamie Counsel, 25, set up a page called Bring the Riots to Cardiff, later changed to Bring the Riots to Swansea.
The sentence should be a warning that anyone using modern media to incite riots would face stiff punishment, said the judge at Cardiff Crown Court.
