Sam Melia was sentenced to a two-year custodial sentence for over three hundred political stickers covering immigration, foreign policy, Jewish supremacy and almost any other topic you could think of. Their content was described by the prosecution as “legal and truthful”, and in his opening statement, warned the jury to disregard their factual nature as “the truth is no defence in court”.
On 24th January 2024, he was found guilty of ‘distribution of material meant to incite racial hatred’ for the stickers alongside ‘encouraging racially aggravated criminal damage’ for promoting images where they appeared on public street furniture. While incarcerated, his case was cited internationally as an example of two-tier justice, heavy-handed speech policing and the state oppression of patriotic nationalists in the UK.
