The two Britons, who broke the idol
of Lord Rama at the Ealing Road Sanatam Mandir in Wembley last month, were
sentenced for "racially aggravated criminal damages".
The Brent Magistrate Court on November
17 sentenced Toby Champney to two months imprisonment for "racially aggravated
criminal damages". His fellow Christian preacher, Benjamin Lloyd Jones
was fined 400 pounds for racially aggravated threatening behaviour, and
set free.
The lower court's sentence has angered
the Hindu community and many of them have raised the question of why a
higher court had not heard the case.
