Yet another shocking example of draconian enforcement of coronavirus rules.

Video footage out of Australia shows a journalist being dragged to the ground and arrested by riot police for the ‘crime’ of reporting from an anti-lockdown protest.

Rebel Media’s Avi Yemeni was doing a piece to camera at an anti-lockdown Freedom March in Melbourne on Saturday when he was suddenly approached by a police commander.

“This bloke here is not here for any purposeful reason, I want him under arrest,” states the officer, ordering other cops, some of whom are dressed in riot gear, to arrest him.

“Down on the ground!” the police yell as Yemeni is dragged to the turf.

His protestations that he is media and that he has a press permit in his pocket fall on deaf ears as the cops continue to manhandle him, before placing him in handcuffs and marching him off.

Police claim they arrested me for not moving when the Police Commander asked me to.

Problem is, he NEVER asked me anything.

He just ordered the ARREST of a journalist because he doesn’t like what I report.

RT the truth. #AviYemini
