Acquittal of Shaun O’Sullivan, free speech and religious freedom

Tabled by Jim Allister (Traditional Unionist Voice) 6 signatures

The motion

That this House welcomes the acquittal of Shaun O’Sullivan at Swindon Crown Court in November 2025; notes that the case raised serious concerns about freedom of speech, religious liberty, and the policing of so-called hate claims; and calls on the Government to ensure that lawful theological and political discourse is not criminalised, thereby safeguarding both free speech and religious freedom in public debate.
