💨 Abstract

A UK woman, Lucy Connolly, was sentenced to 31 months in prison for inciting racial hatred after a brief social media post. She made an appeal against her sentence. Afterwards, a spokesman for the United States state department mentioned the US is monitoring this case and expressed concern about infringements on freedom of expression. President Trump ally Charlie Kirk, who brought early attention to this case, criticized the UK's handling leading to Ms. Connolly's trial and conviction.
