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”.

          So you’re saying he isn’t a supporter of those organisations?

              This is his “investigating” https://youtu.be/N51xmP-EwSU

              Terrorist slop content of IDF soldiers being shot because “oh it’s so impressive”.

              Really great stuff to get terrorist dicks hard.

              Hope this guy’s rots in a cell haha.

                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.
