Acclaimed Journalist Amy Goodman Arrested

On Labor Day, Amy Goodman was arrested, detained and held accused of “obstruct[ing] a legal process” and “interfer[ing] with a peace officer”[11] while fellow Democracy Now! producers were held on charges of “probable cause for riot”.[12] Some sources have criticized the arrests of the producers as unlawful and a violation of the freedom of the press.[13] She and her colleagues were later released, but they still face charges stemming from their arrests.[14]
