由于缺乏起诉同意, 一名北爱尔兰忠诚人士的仇恨言论指控被驳回, A Northern Irish loyalist's hate speech charge was dismissed due to lack of prosecution consent, ending the case over a 2024 Facebook post.

北部爱尔兰忠诚主义者David 'Dee' Stitt被指控煽动宗教仇恨,但上诉法院驳回这一指控。 上诉法院裁定治安法院由于没有获得检察长的必要同意而缺乏管辖权。 David 'Dee' Stitt, a Northern Irish loyalist, has had a charge of inciting religious hatred dismissed by the Court of Appeal, which ruled the Magistrates’ Court lacked jurisdiction due to the absence of required consent from the Director of Public Prosecutions. 这起事件源于2024年脸书《Stitt》一篇文章, 回应南港屠杀事件, 提到停止“邪恶伊斯兰的蔓延”, 并呼吁抗议。 The case stemmed from a 2024 Facebook post Stitt shared in response to the Southport killings, which referenced stopping the "spread of evil Islam" and called for protests. 当局称其为“号召行动”，但斯蒂特声称这是另一人在私人账户上的信息转发，旨在支持和平示威。 Authorities called it a "call to arms," but Stitt claimed it was a reshare of another’s message on a private account, meant to support peaceful demonstrations. 上诉法官同意,根据1987年《公共秩序(北爱尔兰)令》第10条,起诉的启动不当,结束了本案。 The appeal judges agreed the prosecution was improperly initiated under Article 10 of the Public Order (Northern Ireland) Order 1987, ending the current case. 虽然检察官可以要求最高法院进行复审,但法律专家说,此事可能已经了结。 While prosecutors may seek a Supreme Court review, legal experts say the matter is likely concluded.
