A BBC edit removed "free Palestine" from Akinola Davies Jr.'s BAFTA win speech, sparking backlash over inconsistent standards.
Akinola Davies Jr., winner of the BAFTA Film Award for outstanding debut, said "free Palestine" in his acceptance speech, but the BBC edited the phrase from the aired broadcast, removing it about two hours after the live event.
The omission sparked controversy, especially after viewers noted the broadcaster aired a racial slur earlier without delay.
The BBC has not explained the editing decision, leading to criticism over inconsistent editorial standards and perceived bias in handling political and offensive speech during public broadcasts.
