Human rights group CAGE has come under further scrutiny for the support it gives to a number of convicted terrorists, including radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza (pictured) The campaign group that described ISIS executioner Jihadi John as a 'beautiful young man' came under scrutiny today as it was revealed British charities are funding them to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds. Human rights group CAGE sparked fury yesterday when its leader Asim Qureshi claimed west London student Mohammed Emwazi 'wouldn't hurt a fly'. Today, it was revealed CAGE supports a number of convicted terrorists and other jihadis who remain at large - while collecting donations from some well-known British trusts.
