Overview
- Mr Justice Bright granted an emergency injunction barring any further publication of Free Speech Union donor information and warned that breaches could lead to jail.
- Court documents name 22-year-old Autumn Redpath as a respondent in the case following the hack and online posting of donor details.
- Redpath appeared by video link and sought an anonymity order, which was reported to have been rejected, while denying involvement with Bash Back.
- The Free Speech Union says it disabled parts of its website, reported the incident to Scotland Yard and the City of London police, and is working with cyber-security advisers.
- FSU-cited analysis links Redpath to Bash Back activity, a claim Bash Back disputes as it denies any association with the individual prior to the injunction; the union has opened a Stripe donations page to fund its response.
