UK and Geneva independent journalists and human rights experts were invited to a UN Human Rights Council side event to share their stories of human rights offense by their government in the name of national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 13th Sept, UK independent journalists, Craig Murray who was also a British ambassador to Uzbekistan, Richard Medhurst and Swiss-based human rights NGO founder Sharof Azizov were giving statements for themselves and client in a side event “Human Rights & Security Legislation” by Hong Kong NGO, International Probono Legal Services Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Craig Murray shared his experience of being detained and questioned at a Scottish airport for attending a pro-Palestinian event in Iceland. He was asked to surrender his electronic devices and passwords, and was denied access to a lawyer. He was warned that failure to comply would result in being charged under the Terrorism Act and sentenced to two years in prison. In the UK, any misinformation defined by the government on social media could lead to the closure of platforms which have subscribers deemed as hostile by the government. Mr. Murray believes that the political and media classes in the entire Western world are heavily influenced and bought by lobbying groups, and that the news seen on the BBC or The Guardian differs significantly from the reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist Richard Medhurst recounted a similar terrifying experience as the first UK journalist arrested under Section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000. At Heathrow Airport, he was confronted by six plainclothes individuals claiming to be police without any identification. All his journalistic equipment, including microphones and wired and wireless headsets, was confiscated. He was locked in a cell resembling a toilet, monitored 24 hours a day by cameras. Medhurst could face charges and potentially be imprisoned for up to 14 years due to his journalistic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medhurst criticized the Terrorism Act, stating that it is a form of abuse rather than legitimate use, as the legislation itself is so broad and vague, particularly Section 12. Its formulation could criminalize free speech and be easily misused by the UK to suppress reporting on group actions on the ground. He questioned the UK government: “Let me ask the UK government one last question. Is this what you want the world to know? Is this your desired legacy? How many more people do you intend to arrest? How many Palestinians will be murdered?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharof Azizov, the founder of the co-organizing NGO, Justice for All International, stated that the Estonian Internal Security Service KAPO is increasingly becoming an instrument of repression, targeting activists, human rights defenders, and opposition figures like Mr. Ivo Peterson, all under the guise of protecting national security. He has been imprisoned based on absurd charges related to his nonviolent activities and has yet to be convicted. His continued imprisonment, along with threats and intimidation directed at other members of his party, reflects a broader climate of fear and political suppression orchestrated by KAPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Jewish entrepreneur Yuliya Serebryannik had her assets unlawfully seized by the Turkmenistan government solely based on her ethnic background, demonstrating how state security agencies are being misused to marginalize minorities. The situation is no different in China. Chinese entrepreneurs, particularly Uyghur and Hong Kong businesspeople, face disproportionate sanctions under false pretenses, framed as measures to promote their rights. These sanctions have inflicted significant economic and social harm, undermining their businesses while stripping them of their political and civil rights, all conducted in the name of national security by foreign states. This raises serious concerns about adherence to international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
