Why Am I A Terrorist Suspect, Home Secretary?
A letter to the Home Secretary
January 2009
I refer you to the correspondence over the last few months, following my being unlawfully accosted at St Pancras Eurostar terminal on 25 March last by an anonymous person who wore no uniform and refused to identify himself or explain under what authority he purported to stop and question me.
Scotland Yard�s Commander Sawyer says I was stopped by an “individual?, but he has most carefully failed to confirm that this was a man under his command.
One of two consequences must follow:
1.� Either it is my duty to report a prima facie crime � a man masquerading as a policeman or government official of some sort.
2� Or, taking Commander Sawyer�s remarks at face value, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 please accept this as my formal request for the details held by your department which gave the unidentified “individual? any cause to stop and question me.� I remind you that Mr Sawyer refers, in his attempt to justify the action taken by his alleged officer, to Section 40 (1) (b) of the Terrorism Act 2000, which says: “In this Part ?terrorist� means a person who is or has been concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.
I take the strongest possible exception to the libellous implications of such a statement or allegation.� I have a right to know what facts or alleged facts your department or the police hold about me to justify any such conclusion.
I would also remind you of the time limitations imposed by the Freedom of Information Act, and look forward to a full, frank and early reply.
