(National-UAE) Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American journalist and activist, was given a Metropolitan Police protection team on Tuesday evening after her appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Ms Alinejad spoke at the Sir Harry Evans Global Summit on Investigative Journalism in central London on Wednesday and described what happened when the police officers arrived.
“After my appearance on Piers Morgan’s show last night, the team from Metropolitan Police came to my hotel and they said that everywhere you go, we have to protect you,” she said.
“They’re all actually using the resource of the UK people to protect me, but I am here to ask the UK government to protect democracy because right now journalists are under threat.”
