On Monday, independent UK-based journalist Richard Medhurst posted a video saying that he was arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport on Thursday and held for nearly 24 hours under the Terrorism Act 2000.The arrest and detainment of Medhurst and several other journalists stems from the case against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, activist, organizer, and commentator Misty Winston told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Tuesday. “This is the Assange effect. I hate to bring it back to Julian Assange, but I think that is a crucial part of this puzzle here,” Winston argued. “We saw what they did to Julian Assange and we saw the way that opened up the door for this type of behavior and for other journalists to be targeted this way.”
