Today, comedian Reginald D. Hunter appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, marking his first appearance in a private prosecution brought by Campaign Against Antisemitism.
The case is adjourned until the next hearing in November.
Mr Hunter is charged with three offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to posts on X that he allegedly published in September 2024.
The first hearing took place on 30th May at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but Mr Hunter failed to appear. A warrant was subsequently issued for him to attend court on a future date, and that hearing took place today.
Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations and Enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: “This is one of a number of private prosecutions that we are bringing, and there will be more to say on the case in due course.”
