Luke Yarwood, a 36-year-old man, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for posting two anti-immigration tweets on X, which were viewed just 33 times. His tweets, made after the Magdeburg car attack in December 2024, called for violence against migrant hotels and were deemed capable of inciting disorder. Though his defense argued that the posts had minimal impact, the judge highlighted their serious nature and potential to stir racial hatred. Yarwood’s case parallels that of Lucy Connolly, who also faced legal consequences for inciting racial hatred online.
