A Conservative Party councillor has been arrested by police under ‘hate crime’ laws for defending Christians on social media.
Cllr Anthony Stevens, 50, from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, told The Telegraph he was arrested at his home in August.
He had reposted a video criticising the police for arresting a Christian street preacher who was falsely accused of Islamophobia.
And Cllr Stevens had posted his support for fellow Northamptonshire councillor Cllr King Lawal, who has been ‘cancelled’ for talking about his Christian beliefs concerning LGBT issues.
