Sydney Hostage-Taker Accused Of 47 Sex Attacks

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 16 Desember 2014 | 12.15

The man who took up to 20 people hostage in a Sydney cafe has been named as Iranian refugee Man Haron Monis, aged 50.

Sydney police said the self-styled Sheikh - who raised a flag with the Islamic declaration of faith in Arabic written on it and placed human shields in the window before police officers moved into the building - was well-known to them.

It was later revealed he had died in the confrontation with police after shooting one of his hostages.

Channel Nine reporter Airlie Walsh told Sky News charges against him included accessory to murder and sexual assault.

"The list of charges against the Sheikh are extremely long and extremely worrying," she said.

He is believed to be currently on bail for 47 sexual assaults he is accused of carrying out while operating as a spiritual healer.

Monis moved to Australia in 1996 from Iran. The country's foreign ministry said his actions were "not in any way justifiable".

He is notorious in Australia for sending abusive letters to family members of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and was sentenced to 300 hours of community service for his campaign.

Among those targeted in his hate mail was the widow of Sergeant Brett Till, who was killed while defusing a bomb on 12 March 2009.

At the time of the conviction, Bree Till said: "We sat reading these letters (which) made out to be something supportive but then the juxtaposition of this man accusing my husband of being a child-killer while dictating how I should raise my children. It was scary."

Last year, Monis said last year that he wanted to send a "very nice condolence letter" and 237 baskets of flowers to the families of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan but failed to overturn a court order banning him from using the postal service to contact relatives of military personnel.

He was later charged with being an accessory in the murder of his ex-wife.

Monis operated a website which was taken down shortly after he was named as the hostage-taker in the media.
