XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT! Former aide to New York’s governor is charged with being an agent of the Chinese government.
This is an utterly shocking account from journalist Sarah Wilkinson of her recent violent arrest by 16 counter-terrorism police, several masked, at 7.30am.
They smashed up, or stole, many of her belongings; emptied an urn of her mother's remains over the floor; have denied her the right to touch any electronic device, even a phone, though she has a potentially life-threatening medical condition; stolen her passport, which she needs to produce or it will lead to a bail infraction and possibly a five-year jail term; and much else besides.
She has, of course, been stripped of the right to do journalism. All of this under Section 12 of the draconian Terrorism Act.
This is clearly intended as a campaign of terror, meant to intimidate others from speaking up about Israel's genocide in Gaza.
