    On The Electronic Intifada livestream last week, we interviewed Franck Magennis, a brilliant lawyer who works within the courts of England and Wales.

    A court has ruled that the raid and resulting seizure of my devices that British “counter-terror” police carried out on my home in October were unlawful.

The police have today handed back all seven seized items.
