I'm English
I was arrested on English soil, by English police under an archaic English law & treated as a terrorist for my reporting.
To this day, not a single British outlet in the mainstream press have said a word.
Israeli media covered it. Chinese, Italian, Arabic, Persian media did, and then some.
@HaimBresh @swilkinsonbc @AsaWinstanley and @CraigMurrayOrg experienced similar mistreatment. Again, no mention in the press.
Other journalists are supposed to be colleagues who care about free speech and civil liberties— never mind when the blowback could one day affect them too.
I still remember their silence when Assange was languishing in prison. They neither defended him nor freedom of speech.
They always seem to have time to criticize human rights abuses abroad, but then turn a blind eye when it happens here.
We are witnessing an unbelievable affront on free speech using the Terrorism ACT in order to protect Israel's tattered reputation.
Wake up.

‘Medhurst said he could face up to 14 years of prison in Britain, plus 2-5 years if he doesn’t give them the passwords to his devices and perhaps 10 years in Austria.
On Thursday former British diplomat Craig Murray, who is also being investigated by British authorities under the Terrorism Act because of his journalism, reported that:
“Four U.N. special rapporteurs have written jointly to the U.K. government demanding explanation of its inappropriate persecution of journalists and political activists under the Terrorism Act.
They state that those persecuted:
‘appear to have no credible connection to “terrorist” or “hostile” activity.’
The cases taken up by the United Nations are those of Johanna Ross (Ganyukova), John Laughland, Kit Klarenberg, Craig Murray (yes, me), Richard Barnard and Richard Medhurst.”’

Richard Medhurst’s detention on phony accusations of being a Hamas member raise major questions about a possible Israeli role in his persecution.
Are the Austrian and British intelligence agencies collaborating with Mossad to strip a UK citizen of his freedom?
Full solidarity with @richimedhurst. Any one of us can be next.
