I’m a Photographer, Not a Terrorist! (PHNAT) invites all UK-based photographers to a mass photo gathering in defence of street photography. “Following a series of high profile detentions under s[ection ]44 of the terrorism act including 7 armed police detaining an award winning architectural photographer in the City of London, the arrest of a press photographer covering campaigning santas at City Airport and the stop and search of a BBC photographer at St Pauls Cathedral and many others, PHNAT feels now is the time for a mass turnout of Photographers, professional and amateur to defend our rights and stop the abuse of the terror laws,” the campaign group writes on its website. The rally will take place on Saturday, 23 Januyary 2010, on Trafalgar Square. PHNAT expects over a thousand participants.
