"Alhamdulilah, I am going home to my family, friends and community. And Palestine will be free insha' Allah."
Majid Freeman addresses supporters outside Birmingham Crown Court after the jury in his terrorism trial failed to reach a verdict.
A retrial will now take place in September 2027.
“The state exhausted considerable resources trying to prosecute me based on emoji, duas and posts online. And after almost a week of deliberation, the jury could not agree that I was guilty. They could not agree.
“That is not nothing. I welcome the opportunity of a retrial, because it means the evidence of what Israel has done to Gaza – the brutality, the systematic destruction of an entire people – will once again be placed before a jury of the British public. Let them see it again. Let the world be reminded again.”
