    Independent journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested by British police under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act

    Just for clarity he’s an independent journalist not a journalist for the independent newspaper.

    He’s just some rag who posts a lot on his blog. He’s not exactly mainstream. Which is presumably why there isn’t a lot of news about this.

      He also regularly writes for and appears on Al Mayadeen (Hezbollah affiliates), the Iranian Regime’s Press TV, and Russia Today.

      And yes, you would be correct if you guessed his views on Syria’s Bashar al-Assad based on this information.
