🚨 South Wales Police are zealously enforcing their own definition of Islamophobia in a way that threatens free speech.
The force has instructed staff to log anything that goes beyond what it considers a “legitimate” discussion of Islam.
This subjective definition gives officers the power to decide what constitutes acceptable speech and risks having a chilling effect on free expression.
The Free Speech Union has written to South Wales Police calling on them to withdraw the guidance. If they fail to do so, we have threatened legal action by way of judicial review.
FSU General Secretary Lord Young said South Wales Police risked “penalising people for expressing misgivings about Islam”, contrary to free speech protections enshrined in law. Britain’s blasphemy laws were abolished by Parliament in 2008.
Lord Young added: “The Government was careful to include free speech safeguards in its official definition of anti-Muslim hostility, making clear that it was not intended to inhibit criticism of Islam or Islamic religious practices, such as ritual public prayer.
“Our concern is that police forces and other public bodies adopting the definition will gold-plate it, ignoring those safeguards and penalising people for expressing misgivings about Islam, even when those views are rooted in evidence rather than prejudice.
“In particular, we are concerned that the default police response to reports of anti-Muslim hostility — even where they clearly fall outside the definition — will be to record them as ‘anti-social behaviour incidents’, the new name for ‘non-crime hate incidents’. Those records may then be disclosed in enhanced DBS checks.”
The Government announced its official definition of “anti-Muslim hostility” in March, alongside plans to appoint an Islamophobia tsar.
South Wales Police’s interpretation adds an extra phrase to the Government’s definition that could have a chilling effect on free speech and potentially affect people’s employment prospects.
As a result of this policy, individuals may be unable to predict whether their lawful speech or beliefs will be recorded by the police, or how any resulting record may be used, retained or relied upon.
We understand that several other police forces have adopted their own definitions of Islamophobia.
