Recently, American Brittany Pettibone and her boyfriend, Austrian activist Martin Sellner of Génération Identitaire, were detained and imprisoned in London, essentially for holding non-politically correct points of view. According to authorities, Pettibone was detained for wanting to interview activist Tommy Robinson.

Detained at airport on the basis their speech at Speakers Corner MIGHT upset the Muslim population. And boy oh boy, we can’t allow that to happen in Londonistan now can we? #londonhasfallen #londonistan #FreeBrittany pic.twitter.com/IqDmHcbnGJ

After three days, they were released and allowed to travel to Vienna, where they met Robinson.
According to Pettibone:
Martin & I were denied entry to the U.K. & held in a detention facility because 1.) I intended to interview “far right leader”, Tommy Robinson. 2.) Because Martin intended to give a speech at Speaker’s Corner which they alleged would “incite tensions between local communities”.

Pettibone added:
This is political discrimination, plain and simple. @Martin_Sellner and I will release a detailed video statement as soon as possible.

Robinson spoke with the couple about their ordeal:
As a final note, this is what happens in a regime without a guaranteed right to free speech, free assembly or freedom of association. In short, this is what the radical left would implement in this country if it could…
