A man who planned to kill a Christian evangelist at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, London, has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years.

Edward Little, aged 22, is a Muslim convert who conducted research into firearms, the location of the planned attack, and his intended target – Hatun Tash, who converted to Christ from Islam.

She speaks on behalf of Defend Christ Critique Islam Ministries and often debates with Muslims. Separately, on a previous occasion in 2021, she was stabbed while evangelising at Speaker’s Corner.
