RT’s Lebanon bureau chief, Steve Sweeney, says British counterterrorism officers who briefly detained him at a London airport questioned him about alleged links to Russian officials. They also asked whether he still “loved” Britain.
RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan revealed in a Telegram post on Wednesday that Sweeney had been apprehended on arrival at Heathrow Airport and interrogated at length about his work for the Russian broadcaster.
The British journalist, who has since returned to Lebanon, appeared live on RT on Thursday, saying that as soon as he got off the plane he was met by “two plain-clothed police officers,” who took him away for questioning.
