Story highlights French comedian Dieudonne sentenced to two months jail in Belgium for hate speech

Charges stem from comments he made during a concert in Liege in 2012

Comic has been banned from the UK and sentenced in France for "condoning terror"

(CNN) Controversial French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala has been sentenced to two months in prison by a Belgian court for "inciting hatred" during a performance in the country.

The comic and political activist, who goes by his first name, was also fined 9,000 euros ($9,555) by the court in the eastern city of Liege for his comments during a show in the city in 2012.

A spokeswoman for the Liege prosecutor's office told CNN the comic was charged due to "homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic" comments made during the performance.

They were also "regarded as furthering National Socialist ideology," an offense under Belgian law, she said.
