BRITISH counterterrorism police have raided the home and seized devices of Electronic Intifada associate editor Asa Winstanley.

At least 10 officers arrived at Mr Winstanley’s north London home before 6am on Thursday, serving the journalist with warrants and other papers authorising them to search his house and vehicle for devices and documents.

A letter addressed to him from the Counter Terrorism Command of the Met Police said they were “investigating possible offences” under sections one and two of the Terrorism Act for “encouraging terrorism.”
