Matt Broomfield, 29, said he was met by police as he got off a plane from Belgrade with his girlfriend on 24 August and was taken aside for questioning, where he was asked "do you consider your reporting objective" and his opinions of the British state. Police told Broomfield they were engaged in "a mopping up operation". They seized his phone and laptop and have since refused to return them.
Broomfield was held for two months in Greek migrant detention centres in 2021 after being denied permission to cross the border into Italy. He was told he was banned from the EU’s Schengen area at the request of Germany, which he believes was because of his media and advocacy work.
