Britain’s de facto blasphemy laws: Arrested for burning the Koran

Описание: Are free speech rights in the UK being sacrificed to maintain "social peace"? In this urgent discussion, Ben Jones from the Free Speech Union exposes how British authorities are using aggressive "lawfare" and bail conditions to enforce a de facto blasphemy code.

We dive into the shocking case of a Christian convert and Iraqi refugee who fled persecution only to be arrested in Bradford for a political protest. From the Crown Prosecution Service adopting the language of foreign regimes to the "process as punishment" tactics used to silence dissent, we explore why the British state is effectively resurrecting laws that were abolished decades ago. Join us as we examine the fine line between maintaining order and the total erosion of our fundamental liberties.
