Truthdig - A/V Booth - Amy Goodman, ‘Democracy Now!’ Producers Arrested at RNC

Courtesy of Truthdig, here's an update to Sunday's post about violations of civil liberties at this summer's political conventions.

According to the “Democracy Now!” Web site, producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar were arrested Monday afternoon “while they carried out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrations at the Republican National Convention,” and host Amy Goodman was arrested for “defending her colleagues and the freedom of the press.”
