In this video of an apparent interview with a news outlet before her sentencing, former Bracknell mayor Naheed Ejaz complains of what she calls "British injustice" claiming she and her son are being punished over politics, ethnicity, religion
Showing no signs of remorse, she makes various accusations:
"I am at Winchester Crown Court today ready to be sentenced for something I have not done. All I can describe this whole case is the British injustice. I can not go into the details of what has happened. There will be another day for all that but rest assured neither myself nor my son have done anything. My crime is that I was a Labour mayor and I have been convicted for my position, for my ethnicity, for my religion. My son is being convicted for his religion, his age, his ethnicity, his gender. We have been victim of a false allegation blackmail and sadly the system is here to protect the criminals and not the victims of that. Any evidence presented in the court against my son has been doctored, has been planted, has been withheld. So you know in Britain we live in this bubble where we think that justice system is very fair and if we lived a proper life followed the rules we will get justice but sadly that is not true and I have found it to my detriment and the cost of my life."
