Censorship: Them vs Us, Who Is The Enemy?

00:20 Richard Medhurst (on X): Richard Medhurst’s post

I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.

6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.

I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.

I believe I’m the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act. 

I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.

France is actually going to throw Telegram founder Pavel Durov in jail for up to 20 YEARS for refusing to censor the truth.

If this happened to Mark Zuckerberg in Russia, every Western government would be going crazy.

The hypocrisy and double standards are astounding.

The police came to her house just before 7.30am. 12 of them in total, some of them in plain clothes from the counter terrorism police. They said she was under arrest for “content that she has posted online.” Her house is being raided & they have seized all her electronic devices.

Journalism is not a crime.

Free media is essential if societies & economies are to prosper. But HK has dropped from 18 to 135 in World Press Freedom Index since 2002.

Certainly, if it is possible to have information coming from the hidden face of the Moon it is thanks to Telegram. There will be a reduction of information. There is a problem of media control, propaganda. The media sound monotonous all over Europe.
