This petition is to demonstrate support for Metab Yasin, a former teacher at the Nottingham Emmanuel School.
The people signing this petition believe that Mr Yasin should NOT be given a custodial sentence.
He tried to support a former student as she was experiencing problems at home with her mother. She read too much into this support and tried to make a pass at Mr Yasin. He rejected her advances and in turn, she retaliated by saying she would get him back. Humiliated by the rejection, she embarked on a journey to ruin Mr Yasin's life. She accused him of having a relationship with her whilst at school.
Metab Yasin has now been convicted on 5 counts of sexual activity whilst in a position of trust and has also been acquitted on 4 counts of sexual intercourse with a minor. The jury unanimously found Mr Yasin both innocent and guilty BASED ON THE SAME EVIDENCE; her word against Mr Yasin’s, a highly respected pastoral leader. The ‘smoke without fire’ principle adopted by the prosecution based their case against Mr Yasin on associations made with the claimant AFTER she left school due to her ongoing problems at home with her mother.

I keep staring at the screen because the way this has taken off is honestly overwhelming and I just never thought so many people would actually read through the evidence to see the truth of what happened to Metab. It is such a strange feeling to see this much momentum building up when the whole situation feels so surreal and messy but knowing that you all see the injustice here makes it feel like we might actually get somewhere.

HE IS INNOCENT. Stop punishing good teachers for trying to support students who have bad home lives.
NEVER should have been convicted on this evidence. The system let him down badly.
Just heart breaking. He was doing his job as a pastoral leader and look where it got him. Stay strong Metab.
Ridiculous verdict. How can you be innocent on some counts and guilty on others with the exact same evidence?? Doesn't make any sense.
This whole thing is a complete mess. He was just trying to help a kid out and now his life is ruined over a lie. Let the man go.

Metab was one of the best teachers at Emmanuel. Everyone knows he’s being targeted. Such a shame.
