From IMDB:

In an astounding concession by U.K. public officials, police and prosecution authorities have agreed to pay the producers of a TV documentary $200,000 to settle a libel suit and apologize to them in court. West Midlands police and the Crown Prosecution Service had accused the producers of editing their documentary, Undercover Mosque, to “completely distort” the comments of British imams appearing in it, filmed with hidden cameras. (One imam was seen remarking, “As for the Jews, you kill them physically.” Another praised the beheading of a British soldier, saying, “The hero of Islam is the one who separated his head from his shoulders.") The officials also sent their complaints about the program, produced by Hardcash Productions for Channel Four, to OFCOM, Britain’s broadcasting regulator. It dismissed the complaints, calling the documentary “a legitimate investigation.” The producers then sued the officials for libel.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/7401704.stm

im sick of this story, been dragging on for a year or 2. for the police to accuse channel 4 without any evidence was totally stupid but im not sure who set their agenda. I guess it was to show they wernt institutionally rascist but they should be impartial
