Christian preacher, Hatun Tash, has won a £10,000 settlement after being falsely arrested again at Speakers' Corner in London. On Sunday 26 June 2022, Hatun was setting up a camera at a crowded Speakers’ Corner preparing to preach. As she was setting up a man snuck up on her belongings, grabbed her copy of the Qur’an and ran off through the crowd. The Christian friends accompanying Hatun called the police to report the theft. However, as the police arrive, instead of establishing what happened, without any discussion, an officer tries to draw her away from the growing crowd. Refusing to move from where she planned to preach, the officers then put Hatun in a hold and began to frog-march her through the crowds to waiting police vans. Crowds of Muslims follow as they laugh, crow, film, pursue, mock, assault, and chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ while Hatun is led away. The police do nothing to control the crowd or deal with any of the violent intimidation. Dumped in a police van, her belongings are left unattended at Speakers’ Corner. Read more about Hatun Tash:
