1) I am disturbed by the proposed Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred & Hate Offences) Bill 2022. The Bill removes the presumption of innocence for individuals charged under new hate speech laws & presents significant constitutional concern. #Ireland #HateSpeech

2) In law, this is called a ‘reverse evidential burden’. The introduction of a 'reverse evidential burden' in Part 2 S10(3) is particularly troubling & is repugnant to the Irish Constitution. It should be challenged in the courts.

3) The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of the Irish legal system, enshrined in both common law and the Constitution. Article 38.1 of the Irish Constitution states that "no person shall be tried on any criminal charge save in due course of law."

#SupremeCourt to hear petition filed by CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat, seeking registration of FIR against BJP leaders Anurag Thakur & Parvesh Verma for alleged hate speeches in 2020

Matter taken.

Sr Adv Siddharth Agarwal for Brinda Karat - These pertain to speeches made during election rallies in 2020. They constitute hate speech. ECI had taken action against them.

#SupremeCourt #HateSpeech

Agarwal : The Delhi HC in a collateral proceeding commented adversely on these two gentlemen. But when I moved the Magistrate, the Magistrate refused to register FIR saying no sanction has been obtained.

Women’s sports have been increasingly dominated by testosterone ridden male athletes who failed to make the cut in men’s sports.

There’s an effort underway to stop mixing trans-women into women’s sports and vice versa for men’s sports.

A thread on #Wokeness for awareness

Similarly men’s sports shouldn’t be mixed with trans-women. There’s not much of this problem currently since men are physically stronger and faster than women, but you get the point.

Going through the proceedings, one could clearly see, J. Joseph's hate and prejudices against the Hindu community..

Well, this was not the 1st case where J. Joseph's bias and prejudices against the Hindu community were on full display..And, this won't be the last case..This will continue till he retires..His bias against the Modi govt is well established..

I) J. Joesph's hate and prejudices against Hindu community, during the proceedings of this Contempt petition against #HateSpeech .

This is from Solapur, Maharashtra

At Hindu Janakroash Morcha rally, far-right leader T Raja Singh once again gave open calls for violence against Muslims and pitched for their economic boycott.

Note: “Landya” is an anti-Muslim slur.

#India #Maharashtra #HindutvaTerrorist

Raja Singh while addressing thousands of young Hindus attending the event urged them to die while writing the history
#India #Maharashtra #Muslim #IndianMuslims #Hindutva #Fascist #Fascism #Nazism #HindutvaTerrorist #SaffronTerror #HateSpeech #Islamophobia #Islamophobia_in_india

Raja also threatened that if the government doesn’t pass laws on love jihad, religious conversions, and cow slaughter, then Hindus will take law into their own hands and use swords.

Wir möchten auf die Situation von Frauen im Krieg aufmerksam machen und ihnen helfen. Deshalb sammeln wir Spenden für "Marsch der Frauen", eine ukrainische NGO, die Frauen und Kindern im Krieg hilft.

does NOT set #fueloilprices and @PierrePoilievre
knows that. We live in a democracy, not a totalitarian state. The price of oil is set in the global marketplace so the supply/demand balance determines the price of O&G products around the world.

The Canadian government has constitutional authority to regulate gasoline prices only in an emergency. However, provinces and territories can regulate prices, and Quebec and the Atlantic provinces do so.

@JustinTrudeau does NOT set #groceryprices and
@PierrePoilievre knows that. They result from factors that include yields, wildfires, drought, global supply chain problems and grocery chain price gouging, etc. Implying otherwise is #misinformation.
