How many of you have heard of Ilias Kasidiaris? The former Greek MP and politician remains imprisoned in Greece, due to one of the most controversial cases in the EU. He’s serving time from the Golden Dawn convictions, but a recent judicial decision has drawn heavy criticism: His June 2025 release request was denied 2-1, against the Prosecutor’s recommendation, partly because he maintains an active X account (@IliasKasidiaris), with help from supporters to comment on politics. “The applicant… maintains a personal account on… X… expressing his views on current political and social affairs,” the court said. They will therefore keep him imprisoned despite good conduct and significant time served. This sets a dangerous precedent for political speech. How does it differ from cases Elon Musk has criticized in the UK?
