Marieha Hussain stated, 'It has damaged my reputation and lost me my career...They must answer for the harm they have caused not just to me, but equally, the right to peaceful protest.'
Gareth Pierce criticized the Metropolitan Police by saying, 'The CPS and the Met failed inexcusably in their respective responsibilities, seriously undermined the exercise of free speech and exposed Hussain to irreparable harm.'
Pierce further condemned the Met for hastily disseminating a photo of Hussain on social media without regard for her safety, stating, '...the Metropolitan police six hours later lent its full authority to a fresh, dangerously wrong formulation...'
Hussain's claims focus on the perceived politicization of her prosecution, asserting that the case went forward despite 'unsound evidence and in the face of clear contrary legal principles.'
