Guardian journalist’s partner in nine-hour terror questioning

Guardian journalist’s partner in nine-hour terror questioning

The partner of a Guardian journalist at the centre of revelations about US and British security services has spoken of being questioned by six agents on his “entire life” while travelling through Heathrow.

David Miranda was held by police under terror laws for nine hours the legal limit before a suspect must be charged or released as he changed planes on a journey from Berlin to his home in Brazil.

Labour has called for an urgent investigation into the use of the powers to question Mr Miranda, who lives with reporter Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who interviewed US whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Arriving at Rio de Janeiro airport, Mr Miranda said: “I remained in a room. There were six different agents coming and going. They asked questions about my entire life, about everything.

“They took my computer, video game, mobile phone, my memory card, everything.”

He was stopped at 8.30am on Sunday and questioned under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 which applies only at airports, ports and border areas, allowing officers to stop, search, question and detain individuals.

The Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Any suggestion that terror powers are being misused must be investigated and clarified urgently.”
