American human rights attorney and international lawyer Dan Kovalik was detained by British counter-terrorism police at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Kovalik was questioned under the UK's Schedule 7 counter-terrorism powers, a controversial provision that allows police to stop, question, and search individuals at UK ports and airports without requiring prior suspicion of involvement in terrorism.
Posting on X last night, Kovalik wrote: ‘I was detained at John Lennon International AirPort in Liverpool, England by anti-terrorism police concerned about my opposition to the Genocide on Gaza and the war on Iran. They seized my phone, computer, fingerprints and DNA sample.’
