#richardmedhurst — Public Fediverse posts

@Kletskous @smaurizi
You are both promoting #RichardMedhurst as an "independent journalist".

#BasharAlAssad was a bloodthirsty dictator [1]. Medhurst published a half-hour video [2] that defends Assad's supposed 2021 "election" (with 95% support) [3] as legitimate and representing the wishes of the Syrian people.

Now this is worth watching. The birth of the petrogas-Dollar and the US's transition into a Pirate State. What the US's recent actions are really about: The control of oil and to stop China.

It doesn't matter whether you agree or not with his comment, but this #RichardMedhurst is worth:

this is an important argument by journalist #RichardMedhurst:

analysing video footage of combat operations is legit journalistic work, NOT propaganda

now you understand why #UK authorities want to set a precedent with #RichardMedhurst and intimidate him and kill his journalism:

it will help them to kill widespread support for pacifist organisations like #PalestineAction under the threat of Section 12(A)

For those who don't know about Richard Medhurst, he is an independent journalist, and was recently arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on August 15 2024 under Britain's Terrorism Act and arrested again on 3 February 2025, this time by Austrian authorities who raided his home and accused him of having affiliations with Hamas.

Medhurst had restraints placed on him preventing him from practicing journalism with threats of imprisonment etc.

Well, guess who's back?

Craig Murray: UK Hypocrisy on Its Arrests of Journalists

#RichardMedhurst #Gaza #Genocide #Censorshop #Journalism

a freelancing journalist in Austria was raided and had all his hardware and drives taken for suspicion of terrorist activity, i.e. supporting hamas, by reporting about #Gaza. the thing that should have every single professional therapist, medical licensee, journalist, lawyer, etc, up in arms, and is not happening because we live in the worst fucking time line:
the attorney general says that the journalists privileged press information is not protected "BECAUSE HE ISN‘T A JOURNALIST IN HIS TIME OFF"

https://orf.at/stories/3384281/

by that logic, attorney-client privilege is only valid during business hours. NDAs only while you are at work. HIPAA only at the hospital.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

#freedomofpress #austria #RichardMedhurst

So Austria has joined in the attacks on #journalism by arresting Richard Medhurst for terrorism.

There's a coordinated global attack on free speech happening. Established powers are getting more and more desperate.

"No one in the world knew what had happened to me or where I was," he said. "I had to ask like four or five different guards for several hours until I finally received a call. In total, I spent almost 24 hours in detention. At no point whatsoever was I allowed to speak to a family member or a friend. After waiting 15 hours, I was finally interviewed by two detectives."

"Richard Medhurst was carrying an iPhone and a Google Pixel with a Graphene operating system, which is privacy-focused and considered particularly secure. He refuses to hand over passwords because, like all reporters’ phones, they contain information that could identify his sources."

The British authorities could also appeal to the court and get a judge to order the reporter to hand them over.

If #RichardMedhurst fails to do so, he faces between two and five years in prison.

se le autorità inglesi prevarranno nel caso #RichardMedhurst, nessun giornalista che viaggerà a Londra sarà più al sicuro, visto che le autorità inglesi possono costringerlo a rivelare le password dei suoi dispositivi elettronici

#RadicalCentrism (so-called) is the real #fascist threat of our time, whether it's "#woke" or #imperialistic (can be both, of course).

It's the "center-left" and the "center-right" #establishment that puts (us) people in jail (e.g. for challenging their #genocide) and it's the self-proclaimed "woke" #lobby that sues and denounces everyone who doesn't go along with their radically weird "ideas".

'Can't Make This Up': #Journalist Arrested Under UK #AntiTerror Law Hours After Criticizing It

"I criticized the #TerrorismAct before getting on the plane, then got arrested under the Terrorism Act upon landing."

Brett Wilkins
Aug 21, 2024

"#RichardMedhurst, a #SyriaBritish #IndependentJournalist who defends #Palestinians' right to resist #IsraeliApartheid, occupation, and other crimes, said this week that he was recently arrested at London's Heathrow Airport and held for nearly 24 hours for allegedly running afoul of a highly controversial #AntiTerrorism law critics say is used to silence legitimate dissent.

"Medhurst—who is known for his work opposing U.S., British, and Israeli war crimes in the Middle East and for his advocacy for formerly imprisoned #WikiLeaks founder #JulianAssange —s aid on social media Tuesday: "I criticized the Terrorism Act before getting on the plane, then got arrested under the Terrorism Act upon landing. Can't make this up."

"In a nearly nine-minute video posted Monday night on X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, Medhurst said that "on Thursday, as I landed in London Heathrow Airport, I was immediately escorted off the plane by six police officers who were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft."

"They arrested me—not detained—they arrested me under #Section12 of the Terrorism Act of 2000 and accused me of allegedly 'expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a prescribed organization,' but wouldn't explain what this meant," he continued."

Richard's video statement is close to 300K views, now. Let's make that a million ore more!

Has any mainstream outlet picked up on these stories, yet? Honestly, we'd be quite surprised if it were so.
