Winter Olympics: Dutch Reporter Physically Removed by Chinese Authorities During Live Broadcast (VIDEO)
Meanwhile in Beijing…
Sjoerd den Daas, a correspondent for Dutch public outlet NOS, was physically removed by Chinese authorities during a live broadcast from the Beijing Olympics on Friday.
“Our correspondent @sjoerddendaas was pulled away from the camera by security guards at 12:00 pm live in the NOS Journaal. Unfortunately, this is increasingly becoming a daily reality for journalists in China. He is fine and was able to finish his story a few minutes later,” NOS tweeted.
