    The Canary has some details:

    posted a video on social media explaining the situation. He said that on Thursday 15 August he was escorted off a plane by six cops. They explained that he was being arrested under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 – for, quote:

    expressing an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation

    Presumably, in Medhurst’s case this is either Hamas or Hezbollah.

    They also explain that he’s not the first “journalist” to be arrested under this law.
