Your article, “Met and CPS accused of string of anti-Semitism failings”, falsely links Ibrahim Abul-Essad to celebrating the October 7th attacks and distributing “Khaybar” stickers. These claims are entirely unproven. Police investigated and took no further action—yet your report presents them as fact, violating Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the IPSO Editors’ Code.

By repeating politically driven accusations without evidence or verification, The Telegraph replaces responsible reporting with defamation. This framing weaponises unverified claims to stigmatise pro-Palestinian activism as extremism, causing grave reputational and social harm.

The article omits crucial context on Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, while amplifying partisan voices that distort public understanding. Such selective reporting inflames Islamophobic sentiment and erodes confidence in British journalism.

I urge The Telegraph to issue an immediate correction clarifying that no charges were brought against Mr. Abul-Essad, retract false claims, and conduct a full editorial review to ensure compliance with IPSO’s Code of Practice. Truth and accountability are the minimum standards of ethical journalism.
