Britain First leader Paul Golding and deputy leader Jayda Fransen talk to the media outside Belfast Laganside Courts after Fransen was released on bail on December 15, 2017 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Both Britain First leader Paul Golding and his deputy Fransen were arrested yesterday inside the court buildings on separate alleged offences.

A far-right organization that had videos retweeted by President Donald Trump has had its Twitter accounts suspended.

Trump caused controversy in November after he retweeted anti-Muslim videos originally posted on Twitter by the organization, Britain First. The U.S. leader was criticized by the U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May who said he was wrong to retweet the posts.

In an email to its members Monday, Britain First described the Twitter suspension as a censorship of right-wing views.

“Twitter is now only available to those on the ‘left’ of politics. This latest attack on our movement demonstrates that ‘free speech’ is only available to those who do not criticize socialism or Islam,” the statement said.

The email stated that the main account of Britain First as well as that of co-leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen had been suspended.

Twitter was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.
