Black Agenda Radio · Independent Jourmalist Richard Medhurst Targeted by Western Governments Acting on Israel's Behalf

Our guest is Richard Medhurst. He is an independent journalist whose work has been severely impacted by state repression in the UK and Austria. He was arrested and detained in the UK in August 2024 and placed under investigation. In addition, Austrian authorities also detained him, raided his home, and seized his devices. New revelations indicate the direct involvement of the Israeli government in these actions. Richard Medhurst joins us from Vienna.
