Cameron Bell, a 23-year-old care worker from Staffordshire, England, was sentenced to nine months in prison for livestreaming a group of masked individuals, who made racist remarks as they roamed the streets of Tamworth.
The incident, which followed a riot on August 4, was broadcast on TikTok when Bell noticed the incident on her way home from work. Some in the group carried wooden planks and metal rods.
During the unrest, the local Holiday Inn Express was set on fire, although it was confirmed in Stafford Crown Court that Bell was not involved in that specific act of violence.
While live streaming the scenes, Bell was accused of calling the migrants “tramps,” and using expletives but did not take part in any violence.
