Scott Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Glenn Greenwald's partner detained at Heathrow airport for nine hours The partner of the Guardian journalist who has written a series of stories revealing mass surveillance programmes by the US National Security Agency was held for almost nine hours on Sunday by UK authorities as he passed through London's Heathrow airport on his way home to Rio de Janeiro. David Miranda, who lives with Glenn Greenwald, was returning from a trip to Berlin when he was stopped by officers at 8.05am and informed that he was to be questioned under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The controversial law, which applies only at airports, ports and border areas, allows officers to stop, search, question and detain individuals. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/18/glenn-greenwald-guardian-partner-detained-heathrow The story was also reported on CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/18/world/europe/greenwald-partner-detained/index.html?hpt=ieu_c2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
