Mr Miranda is not a terrorist, nor was he ever suspected of being - TopicsExpress



          

Mr Miranda is not a terrorist, nor was he ever suspected of being one; the basis for his detention under anti-terrorism legislation is therefore flawed, despite police claims of narrow legality. Furthermore, while there is some dispute over whether the Brazilian was or was not given access to a lawyer, the simple fact of his being held for the full nine hours – seven of them with nothing to drink – smacks more of bullying than effective questioning. Demands for social-media passwords salted by threats of prison only compound the impression of wilful heavy-handedness.
