Saeid Khosroabadi Arson Faizan E Madinah Mosque

Saeid Khosroabadi, an Iranian national and self-described anti-Islam activist, was charged with arson and criminal damage after setting fire to the doorway of the Faizan-e-Madinah Mosque in Republic of Ireland — Dublin. He allegedly expressed hatred for Islam and regret that the mosque did not burn down completely. During his bail hearing at Republic of Ireland — Dublin District Court, Judge Michele Finan denied bail and refused jurisdiction, remanding Saeid Khosroabadi in custody and sending the case to the Circuit Court due to the seriousness of the offense. The incident caused traffic disruption and led to the evacuation of nearby Republic of Ireland — Department of Education and Youth offices. Saeid Khosroabadi was unrepresented due to ongoing industrial action by solicitors, including Tracy Horan, protesting changes to legal aid fees.
