The video features an interview with Lee, who recently served four weeks in prison for a social media post. If anyone can help with a small donation towards his legal fees. Lee describes how he posted a picture on Facebook questioning the truth of local rumours related to incidents near his hometown. His post led to accusations of inciting racial hatred, which he claims were unfounded and based on misinterpretations of his intentions. During his time in custody, Lee learned that authorities believed he was rallying people to cause trouble in the city centre. After receiving negative feedback in the comments, Lee deleted his post, highlighting the potential consequences of sharing information on social media. I was sent to prison for posting a MEME on Facebook that the government said was illegal. Watch this eye opening interview as Urban Scoop's Sammy Woodhouse listens to my story of how my life was turned upside down by what I can only describes as a miscarriage of justice. This is my story of wrongful imprisonment for sharing controversial content online raises pressing questions about the balance between free speech and social responsibility. The interview talks about the time I spent behind bars, the job I lost, and the home I nearly forfeited, not to mention the cost of friendship and respect in the community. Set against the backdrop of the UK's immigration debate, this personal account is a stark reminder of the human cost of policy and prosecutorial missteps. As the documentary airs during a significant protest rally in London's Trafalgar Square, it promises to add a powerful narrative to the voices calling for reform in the justice system, highlighting the dire consequences of early release programs gone awry and the alarming trend of incarcerating individuals without just cause. I would like to thank Sammy Woodhouse for taking the time to speak to me on behalf of Urban Scoop. Posting incorrect information on social media can have various consequences, such as the spread of disinformation, legal repercussions for defamation or harassment, and negative impacts on public health and safety. It's important to verify information before sharing to avoid these potential issues. @urbanscoop #gbnews #freedomofspeech #news #government Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 02:15 The police 08:05 In Court 12:20 The consequences 14:15 Prison 15:00 Conclusion
