Closed Issue an official apology to Lauren Southern for denial of entry into the UK

Closed on

Lauren Southern was detained in Calais by Kent police and charged under section 7 of the terrorism act, before being denied entry into the UK.

The Government must apologise for this.

I believe that that section 7 was wrongfully applied as Section 41 states that "A constable may arrest without a warrant a person whom he reasonably suspects to be a terrorist." I do not believe that the police believed Lauren Southern to be a terrorist.
