British independent journalist Richard Medhurst was detained last week at London's Heathrow Airport under the UK's Terrorism Act, allegedly over his journalism on the war on Gaza.

One of the primary signs of a healthy democracy is persecuting journalists. Everyone knows that.

Medhurst said that he was interrogated for almost 24 hours, his phone was seized, and was prevented from contacting his family.

This isn't fascism. Why would you say that? Go away.
