Lucy Connolly, a 42-year-old mother from the UK, spent more than a year behind bars for a single tweet after the Southport tragedy. Prosecuted under “hate speech” laws and branded a political prisoner of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown, she was denied bail and pressured into pleading guilty despite being a first-time offender. Connolly describes being abused by a counterterrorism unit, separated from her 12-year-old daughter, and misrepresented by police as a racist — despite years caring for migrant families. Now free, she is preparing legal action and vows to fight for reform, determined that her voice will not be silenced.
