We’ve seen the deadly cost of such radicalisation—we lost Jo Cox and Sir David Amess to it.

I have tried to ignore it, but I fear it has reached such dangerous levels, I no longer can. (7)

The lies and hate being spread about me online have reached dangerous levels.

I have seen posts, where ordinary people believe this vile, false narrative about who I am, due to this misinformation. (6)

I was forced into marriage at 15. I’ve spent my life campaigning for victims of abuse and exploitation.

I would never condone such vile crimes.

Yet online, a tweet has been twisted and viewed millions of times to spread a complete lie, and sow seeds of targeted HATRED against me. (5)

In 2022, BBC Shared Data Unit found I received nearly 5,000 'toxic' tweets in just 6 weeks.

The truth is, this level of abuse has continued since 2017—driven by accounts twisting a tweet to push the false, vile claim that I’d justify horrific crimes. (4)

There are currently multiple ongoing investigations linked to this tweet.

In 2020, Leave EU was ordered by the courts to apologise to me and set the record straight after they also defamed me due to this very tweet. (3)

In 2019, a man was convicted for threatening violence due to believing the misinformation spread online due to this tweet.

In his email to me, he said: 'I will do serious time if I could get you' and 'be careful where you go and your family.' (2)
