YouTuber Adil Raja has suffered yet another legal blow as a London High Court judge ordered him to publicly apologize to Brigadier (R) Rashid Naseer. The court ruled that the apology must remain visible for 28 days on Adil Raja’s social media accounts, including X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, YouTube, and his website pages. In addition, Raja has been ordered to pay a £50,000 fine within 14 days and cover £260,000 in legal expenses, with further court costs to be assessed and also borne by him. The judge directed Adil Raja to publish a summary of the court ruling, acknowledging that the allegations he had made against Brigadier (R) Rashid Naseer were defamatory and baseless. Raja is also required to admit publicly that Brigadier (R) Rashid Naseer won the previous defamation case filed against him. This ruling follows an earlier defamation case in October of this year, in which the court had found all claims made by Adil Raja against the retired brigadier to be unfounded. Following that decision, Brigadier (R) Rashid Naseer requested enforcement of the order on ten social media posts that contained defamatory content. The High Court judge additionally issued an injunction preventing Adil Raja from making any further defamatory or derogatory statements about the retired brigadier.
