French publisher Ernest Moret cleared of charges after arrest.

French publisher Ernest Moret, who was arrested using anti-terror laws upon arrival in London, will face no further action, according to the Metropolitan Police. Moret was searched under counter-terrorism legislation after travelling from Paris in April, bailed and later released under investigation.
