Barbara Ntumy calls the claims a 'fabrication' insisting she made the comments about an Israeli attack on Gaza which left thousands dead <\/p>\n
A LEADING supporter of Jeremy Corbyn has been blasted for describing Islamic terrorists as freedom fighters following a suicide attack in 2012. <\/p>\n
The Mail On Sunday reports that activist Barbara Ntumy tweeted out the extraordinary statement after a depraved attack in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She wrote: one mans [sic] Jihadist\/Terrorist is another mans Freedom Fighter. #JustSaying. <\/p>\n
Ms Ntumy, a member of the National Union of Students executive, introduced Labour Leader Corbyn last week when he announced his race and faith manifesto in Watford. <\/p>\n
Speaking with the Mail On Sunday, Ms Ntumy said: I absolutely 100 per cent condemn terrorism. <\/p>\n
The activist has also defended her comments in a blog post in which she calls the Mails article a fabrication. <\/p>\n
She insists that rather than commenting on the attack in Afghanistan she made the remarks after Israels seven week long military campaign in Gaza. <\/p>\n
That Israeli offensive left 2,251 Palestinians dead in 2012. <\/p>\n
Ms Ntumy wrote: I explained that, like many others at the time, I was tweeting in response to Israels assault on Gaza and that I condemn terrorism and have always done so. <\/p>\n
I believe it is important to support Palestinian Human rights. <\/p>\n
This revelation comes as Corbyn has had to continually defend his previous links to IRA supporters in the 1980s and 1990s. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In February, a BNP member launched a hate-filled rant at Ntumy on Channel 4 news telling her he hoped she didnt get raped by a Syrian refugee. <\/p>\n
Far-right activist Jack Buckby, who infamously stood in the by-election for murdered Labour MP Jo Coxs seat last year, was taking part in a debate about the so-called alt-right. <\/p>\n
The crackpot right-winger drew audible gasps in the studio during a live discussion with Barbara Ntumy a member of National Union of Students Black Students Campaign. <\/p>\n
Buckby produced a refugee application form and said: You know what, put your money where your mouth is Syrian refugees application form. <\/p>\n
Take one home, take in a Syrian refugee. I hope you dont get raped. <\/p>\n
