Exploring Free Speech | Michael Shermer, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, David Aaronovitch, Lowkey and more

In 2007 I had a short story published under my real name (H.H. Løyche) in a British anthology to protest against the clampdown on the freedom of speech in the wake of the London Underground bombings. Among other, the story describes a number of motivations behind terrorism and how acts of terrorism can affect the freedom of speech. As a result, I ended up on a US No Fly List. It did not happen to any other contributor in the anthology, despite that all the stories were illegal according to the new UK law -- to the contrary of me, the other participants were all British or US citizens. I have also contributed to Michael Shermer's Skeptic Magazine, but that's a mere coincidence.
