gained European support.
The European Federation of Journalists has said
it is backing efforts by the to defend
journalists covering protests and demonstrations.
Police Forward Intelligence Teams regularly record journalists covering demonstrations, especially on climate change.
The NUJ has posted a video explaining some of the issues.
Twas ever thus but things have quietly got more intense over the last few years. You can see some reports here and here.
Of course, everybody can take a picture so what has changed is that people are willing to turn the cameras on the accusers.
