Journalist Richard Medhurst, known for his critical reporting on the Israeli genocide in Gaza, was detained by Austrian authorities this week following a raid on his home and studio.
Police seized all his electronic devices and accused him of being "a member of Hamas" and encouraging "terrorism"—charges that carry a potential sentence of up to over 10 years in prison.
