    The crew were all released yesterday evening I think but Im beginning to believe that someone made a huge cockup with the arrests/detentions.

    an updated version of that BBC report

    still not very clear though, they had failed to stop for a garda check point, rammed, they were arrested for offences against the state act by armed guards, arcording to the article, people were aware of their pressence and had authority under BBC guidelines

    very confusing to be honest
    The BBC has said the journalists were working on a current affairs investigation and had full editorial authority under the BBC's guidelines.
    "They were taken to three separate police stations and questioned under section 30 of the offences against the state act - the Republic's anti-terrorist legislation.

    the RtE link is a lot clearer on the story

    well compared to the BBC report, its a bit clearer, explaines slightly better why they were there, the events leading to the arrest are still no clearer though

    when i first heard this, i thought that the journalists had gained access to this illegal organization, and maybe one of them had reported all to the garda.
