Sam Melia, a right-wing activist, has been banned from seeing his children after being jailed for two years for distributing political stickers. The UK authorities have cited his 'racist posters, insignia and literature' and 'offensive beliefs' as reasons for deeming him a Person Posing Risk to Children (PPRC). Melia missed the birth of his second child due to his imprisonment, and his wife, Laura Towler, has publicly complained about the restrictions imposed on him. The British police state has also been criticized for its handling of the case. The Ministry of Justice has not yet confirmed these claims.
Insane. Three months ago, British authorities sentenced a right-wing activist to two years in prison for distributing political stickers. Now, his wife says the British state is refusing to allow him to contact his young daughters—because his "racism" poses a risk to them. https://t.co/x013a113z1 https://t.co/E0Fd9OdBoH

the man on the left is in prison for owning racist stickers, and is barred from having photos of his own kids because his racism makes him a “risk to children.” the man on the right is not in prison, and has been permitted to live across from a children’s playground.

Sam Melia's wife complained about the prison saying he can no longer speak to or even hear about his daughter and this was their response. So 'attitudes assessed as racist and offensive' means the state can now take children away? Do people realise just how draconian this is? https://t.co/2p5YceNzHB
Remember Sam Melia? The English man convicted of putting up stickers? Well the state has now decided that Sam is a Person Posing Risk to Children (PPRC) because of Sam's "racist posters, insignia and literature" and "racist and offensive attitudes". He is not allowed any… https://t.co/trapv4HvfX
