It is an unprecedented case. And it risks triggering an unprecedented threat to journalism. The UK police have repeatedly tried to obtain the passwords to the phones of the British independent journalist, Richard Medhurst, the first reporter arrested in London under Section 12: his analyses and comments on Israel’s bloodbath in Gaza – which Amnesty International has characterised as genocide – have been interpreted by the police as support for organisations banned from the UK, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The British journalists’ union, the NUJ, and the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) publicly condemned his arrest and the use of anti-terrorism laws against journalists “simply for carrying out their work”.
That was a really boring and poorly made video. Could you tell me what part of it makes you sure this man is a terrorist? I might have missed it.
Literally never said he was. I said he makes content for terrorists to jerk off to. I bet he cheers when he watches beheading videos. He’s a disgusting freak and should be locked up.
Well then let’s just hope nobody ever decides you’re a disgusting freak and deserve to be locked up.
For what, not liking terrorist supporters? I think I’m safe. The only people that think that’s disgusting are shrill slacktivists and the terminally online.
No, for anything really.
This is you, running away from the topic of terrorist dickriding to anything else.
I don’t think you understand. If this guy gets locked up just because you think he’s a disgusting freak, then you can be locked up as soon as anyone thinks you’re a disgusting freak. Good luck with that.
