Michael Fallon to Pay Damages to Suliman Gani Over False ISIS Accusation

Michael Fallon to Pay Damages to Suliman Gani Over False ISIS Accusation: Britain’s defense secretary has agreed to pay compensation to a man he falsely accused of supporting the Islamic State militant group (ISIS).

During the campaign for London’s mayoral election, Michael Fallon said in an interview that Suliman Gani, a Muslim cleric, was a supporter of the extremist organization, as part of a Conservative tactic aimed at highlighting the alleged radical links of Labour candidate Sadiq Khan, a British Muslim who ultimately won the election.
