More Videobloggers Detained in Beijing
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008TakePart reports that Alive in Baghdad creator Brian Conley and friend Jeffrey Rae have been detained by Chinese officials along with a number of other activists including the actor Jeff Goldin. The Times reports that they have been in custody since 3AM on Monday.
Like others recently deported from China, Conley was documenting protests by Students for a Free Tibet. Conley texted his wife this morning “all fine” according to Andy Carvin, but unlike earlier detainees, Conley and other citizen journalists documenting these better organized protests, are not yet on a plane back to the U.S. Without the backing of a major multinational news organization they can use all the help they can get.
