Libel

In December 2010 Mohammed Hussein Ali Al Amoudi initiated a claim in the English High Court against Elias Kifle claiming damages for libel. In July 2011 Kifle was ordered to pay £175,000 in damages for publishing that Al Amoudi had hunted his daughter down so she could be stoned to death.^[1] Kifle's response to the verdict was, "Here is my formal statement: Screw yourself" and went on to describe Al Amoudi as a "scumbag bloodsucker" who was "funding al-Qaeda".^[1]

In 2012, Kifle was charged in absentia of treason and sentenced to life in prison.^[2]
