United Kingdom: in the streets of Oxford, tensions and debate on freedom of expression

British far-right activist Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) was invited to the Oxford Union to debate the motion 'The West is right to be wary of Islam'. His presence sparked a strong mobilization of students, activists, and residents who believe the event risks fueling divisions and giving increased visibility to discriminatory speech. Protesters gathered outside the historic building, holding signs and chanting slogans against the speaker.
