Charged With Terrorism for a Tweet — How Tony Greenstein Beat the UK

⚖️ Tony Greenstein faced 14 years in prison on terrorism charges for a single tweet supporting Palestine — and a London jury acquitted him in just over two hours.

In this interview, the 72-year-old anti-Zionist activist walks through the counter-terror raid on his flat, the four-day trial, the judge who tried to shut down his defence, and why he turned the case into a free-speech showdown he was determined to win.
