A man who harassed a man by posting a series of anti-Chinese messages to him on social media has been brought to justice and sentenced by a judge. The Crown Prosecution Service said Radeko Keleman, 44, also admitted posting an offensive anti-Muslim message.
Keleman, from Hyde, Tameside, was sentenced at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court on Friday to 32 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months. Pleading guilty to racially-aggravated harassment, he was also ordered to complete a 20-day rehabilitation requirement and 180 hours of unpaid work.
The CPS said that in February last year, Keleman, of Sidley Place, initially posted a comment around the death of a transgender girl. When a man subsequently told him he found the comments unacceptable, he launched a campaign of vile racist abuse directed towards him, a spokesperson for the CPS said.

"He was released with a warning, in the hope that this would be sufficient to stop the offending. However, in May 2023 the man again contacted the police to report that the abuse was continuing, with racist messages and images being posted on his social media accounts.
"When the man tried to block Keleman, he created new profiles to post further messages, including an anti-Muslim post. When he
