Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the apology from the Metropolitan Police to the Christian preacher Ms Hatun Tash on 29 September for her wrongful arrest, whether they will instruct police forces to uphold freedom of speech in instances where they receive complaints that offence has been caused.
This question was answered on 15th November 2022
This Government is committed to upholding freedom of expression and legislation is in place to protect this fundamental right.
However, we do not comment on individual cases, and decisions on arrests are a matter for the police.
