Man Jailed for Anti-Immigration Tweets
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
A man in the UK, Luke Yarwood, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for posting anti-immigration tweets viewed by only 33 people. His posts, deemed extremely unpleasant by the prosecution, included calls for violence against immigrants and attacks on Parliament. Despite minimal views, other posts by Yarwood were seen by over 800 people, and he often engaged with larger accounts. Yarwoods defense argued he was not a racist but a disaffected, misinformed individual. However, the judge disagreed, stating the tweets were odious and designed to incite racial hatred, leading to the sentence.
