The Blackburn Resistance tell Donal about their imprisonment for terror offences, which they claim was unfair saying their terror-style videos were nothing more than a joke.
The Blackburn Resistance found notoriety when police discovered their home-made 'terror' videos, showing the three young Muslim men undertaking military-style training in a Blackburn park. Photographs of the group also emerged, where they posed in camouflage uniforms, with guns and knives.
Speaking exclusively to 5 live about their arrest and imprisonment, the Blackburn Resistance say they were victimised for their religion and say their home movies were nothing more than a joke, and they were simply paying homage to the action films of their hero Arnold Schwarzenegger. They say the police and courts unfairly labelled them terrorists because they are Muslim, however the discovery of extremist material in their home led to two members of the group being sent to prison.
