The police at London’s Luton airport worked through a list of questions. Did Broomfield consider his reporting to be objective? Did he include multiple sources in his work? How did he get paid? What was his opinion about beheadings, and did he ever send anybody a photo of a beheading? “Not answering the questions is a criminal offence, so I complied,” British journalist Matt Broomfield said about the questioning he was subject to in July. His laptop and phone were confiscated and he didn’t receive them back.
So they detain him indefenitely without due process. It is the UK we are talking about. The country that had to be told by the UN Special Rapporteur on torture that their treatment of Julian Assange is constituting torture, which they all but ignored.
You cannot expect rights and due process in a politically motivated case in the UK.
