    So if they arrested him under “terrorism” act it is okay because he talk about Russia - Ukraine issue?

    That’s like the opposite of everything democracy and freedom of speech stand for.

    Innocent until proven guilty, and freedom of speech, and freedom for journalist and reporting is no longer relative.

      He’s been arrested, not sentenced. That’s the innocent until proven guilty bit.

      Not sure where you are from, but I suspect not the UK.

      Do you have any link to what happened besides his own moaning and an article that provides no details? Until I see data/evidence, I’m biased against a chronic paid bullshitter.

      because he talk about Russia - Ukraine issue?

      Is this what you perceive to be the issue I’m raising? Try again. Talking about the Russia - Ukraine “issue” is not what I was highlighting there. Want to take another stab at what I was highlighting about it?

      Same question. What was the issue I was raising? Being a journalist and speaking freely, I’m obviously in favor of. So what was I pointing out when I highlighted those segments and made the connection I made?
