Black Agenda Radio · Richard Medhurst Arrested and Facing Terrorism Act Charges

Our guest is Richard Medhurst. He is an independent journalist who covers international affairs on his Youtube channel and in other outlets. But Medhurst made news of his own when he was arrested on August 15 at Heathrow airport in London under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act of 2000 and was accused of 'expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organization.' He was not permitted to contact his family and had difficulty contacting legal counsel during the nearly 24 hours that he was held and all of his electronic devices were confiscated. He joins us from London to discuss the Terrorism Act, his own case, and the implications of prosecuting journalists.
