🎤 "A VICTORY FOR FREE SPEECH": Tony Greenstein speaks following his acquittal at Kingston Crown Court.
​Following a not-guilty jury verdict delivered in just two hours, activist and writer Tony Greenstein broke down his trial under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act in a hard-hitting doorstep interview.
​Key highlights from the interview:
​Free Speech vs State Censorship: Argued the prosecution was an attempt to twist political commentary into criminal charges, calling the state's case "the thinnest of thin gruel."
​The Toll of Prosecution: Described the three-year ordeal on bail—facing debanking, travel limits, media smear campaigns, and the threat of prison.
​Defense of Jury Trials: Warned against government moves to restrict jury trials, citing the historic 1670 Bushell’s Case to emphasise that 12 ordinary citizens—not state judges—are the true safeguards of conscience and liberty.
​Foreign Policy & Civil Liberties: Criticised historical UK counter-terror legislation, drawing links between foreign policy interventions and the erosion of domestic democratic freedoms.

Not all heroes wear capes. Well done to this brilliant man and the jury who were not swayed by the judge. @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP @DavidLammy belong in prison for what they have done with the people of this country.
Word needs to get out fast & factual of the FORENSIC EVIDENCE that PROVES Israel was responsible for Oct 7 massacre- as a catalyst for the Gaza Genocide. It was IDF using the'Hannibal Directive' order to fire indiscriminately using heavy grade weaponry that Hamas does NOT have!LEAKED FOOTAGE THAT DESTROYS THE OFFICIAL OCTOBER 7 STORY For years, Americans were given a highly sanitized account of October 7: Israel’s heavily funded military and intelligence apparatus allegedly failed for hours while Hamas killed and abducted Israelis. Now, new footage
Well done. No wonder this complicit in genocide Labour Govt wants to get rid of juries
