The London Metropolitan Police have been criticised for arresting French publisher Ernest Moret under the UK’s Terrorism Act. Moret was stopped and questioned under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act after arriving at London’s St Pancreas railway station. The officers said Moret took part in demonstrations in France against a controversial pension reform. Moret was arrested and transferred to a police station after failing to give his phone and passcodes to the officers. The UK’s National Union of Journalists (NUJ) was among the organisations that condemned Moret’s arrest.
