They have News24 Renaldo Salianji in studio, He was reporting from some of the heaviest tear gassing of the protest over the past week.
He reported that he and other journalists suffered injuries from "both sides", but he specifically talked about being targeted by state police. He said they also won't let them film the arrests of minors (I assumed this meant having journalists accompany minors to make sure they are not maltreated as many adult arrestees are).
The anchor asked him if this is usual behavior and he replied that it's not. That in all his years of covering things, the police have never treated the press like this. He attributes it to PM Rama complaining about the media (Rama has complained specifically about News24, which is one of the few non-oligarch networks...he called for the arrest of the owner).
