I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting. I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act. (video.twimg.com)

I was arrested at Heathrow Airport under the Terrorism Act, Sec 12 because of my reporting.

6 police officers were waiting for me at the entrance of the aircraft.

I was held for almost 24 hours and questioned.

I believe I'm the first journalist to be arrested under this provision of the Terrorism Act.

I feel that this is a political persecution and hampers my ability to work as a journalist.
