Police in Leicester arrested at least five journalists under the Terrorism Act while they were reporting on a protest outside a drone factory owned by an Israeli arms company.
The journalists were detained for two hours last Thursday at a UAV Tactical Systems factory owned by Elbit Systems, which makes weapons that are used in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Well this is definitely dystopian, but I don’t think it’s boring per se.
It will be once no journalists are left to report on the abuses. It’ll become routine as it becomes unexamined. Just like the atrocities of the IOF are in Israel.
