Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow by five armed officers after returning from Arizona in connection with three tweets about trans people. He was detained, taken to a police cell, and questioned over posts written about four months earlier. Reports state bail conditions prevent him from posting on X, restricting his freedom of expression. Conservatives and campaigners including JK Rowling condemned the arrest as ridiculous, deplorable, and totalitarian. The Free Speech Union announced legal action, with solicitor Daniel Berke representing Linehan for wrongful arrest, false imprisonment, and breaches of free speech rights. Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley said officers should only act where there is a clear risk of harm or disorder on social media.
