Farhi

And after the fall of Assad, a cultural event with talks about cinema, music, theatre and performances was held at Beit Farhi, a historic house in the heart of Damascus's Jewish quarter.

Jimmy, 16, bled to death at the Three Cooks Bakery in Lee, south London, on 10 May 2008, after Farhi threw a large glass dish that shattered and severed an artery in his neck.

At the time, Mrs Mizen and her husband Barry said: "We must hold on to hope and pray that the parole board has made the right decision and that Jake Farhi will no longer pose a threat to our communities. Only time will reveal the truth."

In 2009, the then-19-year-old Farhi was jailed for life with a minimum term of 14 years for the murder.

The Parole Board decided to release Farhi in May 2023.
