0Is there a less clearly biased source for this? I struggle to take articles seriously when they use emotive language and hyperbole in seemingly every sentence.
This article also straight up accuses NATO of waging a proxy war against Russia and says they’re using Ukraine as their battleground.
It repeatedly calls Russia’s invasion “NATO’s war” ffs
Calling this person a journalist is also a bit of a joke. From what I can see, he mostly just peddles tankie content and conspiracies on his YouTube channel. If that’s what passes as being a journalist these days we’re in real trouble lol
The first page and a half of my Google news search brings up just a whole host of partisan sources, from The Times of Israel to the Tehran Times. I can genuinely find nothing from a UK paper or broadcaster. That’s a bit weird.
What did he actually say? Plenty of high-profile people have denounced what’s happening in Gaza. Either he said something ‘extra’ or he’s been singled out for some reason…
He claims he’s the first person to be arrested under this law, that was introduced in 2000, so he must have said something pretty “extra” if what he claims is true.
posted a video on social media explaining the situation. He said that on Thursday 15 August he was escorted off a plane by six cops. They explained that he was being arrested under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 – for, quote:
expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation
Presumably, in Medhurst’s case this is either Hamas or Hezbollah.
They also explain that he’s not the first “journalist” to be arrested under this law.
