Statement in full:
Jonathan Turner, chief executive of UK Lawyers for Israel, said: “I am pleased and relieved that the two spies have been convicted. I am very grateful to the police and the Crown Prosecution Service for investigating the case and bringing the prosecution – and more generally for all the efforts of the police to keep us safe.
“However the matters revealed in the trial are a reminder that Iran is a really serious threat to many people in the Middle East – not just Israelis but Arabs as well – and also to people in Britain, including on the streets of our capital. No one should under-estimate the seriousness of this threat and the importance of efforts to thwart it.”
UKLFI is an association of lawyers who support Israel and seek the proper application of laws in matters relating to Israel.
