How would have been the reaction of swiss national hero Willhelm Tell? I don't know, but he would have been arrested like anyone opening his mouth to protest. And it was exactly protest against state power that founded (one of) the oldest democraties on our planet...

Look at those kids and idealists: are they really dangerous?

die Berner Polizei am Samstag bei der Anti-WEF-Demo zwei Schreiberlinge 
eingebuchtet hatte. Von Zensur und Einschränkung der Medienfreiheit war gleich 
die Rede.<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.blick.ch/news/schweiz/berner-buchteten-journi-irrtuemlich-ein-81245">Nun bedauert die Polizei die Verhaftung – zumindest des einen Reporters. Der 
Mitarbeiter der linken Genfer Zeitung «Le Courrier» sei irrtümlich festgenommen 
worden. Sie achteten die Medienfreiheit und wollten Journalisten nicht an ihrer 
Arbeit hindern, beteuern die Berner Ordnungshüter.<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.blick.ch/news/schweiz/berner-buchteten-journi-irrtuemlich-ein-81245">Gar nicht Leid tut ihnen aber, dass sie einen Journalisten der «Wochenzeitung» 
hopsgenommen haben. Dieser habe enge Kontakte zu den Organisatoren der 
Demonstration von letztem Samstag gehabt, schreibt die Kantonspolizei. Ausserdem 
sei er ohne Journalistenausweis unterwegs gewesen.<BR></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/68544CEA-BAE2-499F-99B8-6C6E581BB57A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
