Europe’s so-called commitment to “democracy” and “free expression” took another brutal hit as a British man was sentenced to prison, for posting two tweets that were barely seen by anyone. Luke Yarwood, a 36-year-old from Dorset, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after posting two anti-immigration tweets on X that together received just 33 views, according to The Telegraph.
Yarwood’s tweets were posted in the aftermath of the December 2024 Christmas market car attack in Magdeburg, Germany, where six people were killed. The driver, 50-year-old Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, originally from Saudi Arabia who had lived in Germany since 2006 and worked as a psychiatrist, was arrested at the scene.
