‘I felt kidnapped’: Canada police sued for arresting photographer covering protest

Environmental publication the Narwhal argues Amber Bracken’s rights were violated for being detained while working

A Canadian environmental publication has announced plans to sue the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), arguing it violated the rights of a photojournalist after she was arrested and detained while on the job.

The lawsuit, if successful, could have significant implications for Canadian journalists reporting in areas where police try to limit both public and media access.
