Tate also wrote: “Since last year I’ve been in 24-hour lockdown. No yard time. Pacing a 3-metre cell with zero electronics or outside contact. Absolute clarity of mind. Real thoughts. Real plans.
“Vivid pain. One hour home and I can’t stand my phone. Some habits die hard. We must defeat Shaytan.”

“I wanna give respect firstly to the judges who heard us today because they were very attentive and they listened to us and let us free so I have to give absolute respect to them.
“I have no resentment in my heart for the country of Romania or anyone else. I just believe in the truth. I believe in God and the fire of truth will eventually destroy all lies and anybody who lies on a long enough time frame will feel the sting of regret and I believe in this.”
Tate added: “I truly believe that justice will be served in the end. There is zero percent chance of me being found guilty of something I have not done. I maintain my absolute innocence and I think most people understand this and I look forward to being home.”
