Journalists and activists who share leaks of official information which could prejudice government policies could face imprisonment under the National Security Bill if they belong to organisations that have been given grants by other countries. That includes grants from UK allies, such as the Swedish Development Agency or US AID.

This is a clear attack on press freedom.

There is still time to stop it but we need to act fast and let MPs know we will not stand for the media being attacked in this way.

Will you please take a moment to email your MP to tell them you want journalism protected? This kind of contact from a constituent can really ram the message home.
