France bans citizen journalists from reporting violence
The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes
the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than
professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of
eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web
sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned
on Tuesday.
