COVID critic Patrick Ruane was on Monday sentenced to five years in prison for terrorism offenses, after using social media to encourage violence against England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty, among others, during the COVID pandemic.
Referring to Whitty, Ruane had said that "whacking" the back of his skull "would turn said target into a vegetable for the rest of its life." About former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he stated that there was an Irish Republican Army "play book" that "nearly took out Thatcher."
Ruane was first arrested in November 2021 and later released on bail, but was then charged in August 2023. The UK's Metropolitan Police stated that "large numbers" of his Telegram posts encouraged violence "all because he didn't like the government's response to the pandemic."
