I Was Arrested at Heathrow Airport as a “Terrorist” for My Journalism
I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.
6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.
I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.
I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act.
I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.
