We do not republish articles from LBC. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on lbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)LBC reports that two Iranian men were convicted at Woolwich Crown Court of conduct likely to assist Iran's intelligence service after surveillance of two Iran International journalists and a UK Lawyers for Israel founder. It attributes the allegations of planned violence to the prosecution and reports that a third man was cleared. Nothing in the article misleads its reader.
“The prosecution said Sepahvand intended to physically carry out a “violent attack” against at least one of the targets”
LBC attributes the allegation of a planned violent attack to the prosecution. It does not state that allegation in its own voice.
“Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 57, was cleared of the same charge.”
LBC reports the acquittal of the third defendant plainly. A reader does not come away thinking all three accused men were convicted.
“Manesh and Noori were acquitted of engaging in surveillance and reconnaissance, with the intention that serious violence against a person in the UK would be committed by others.”
LBC sets out which charges failed as well as which succeeded. This keeps the gap between what was alleged and what the jury found visible to the reader.
