Sweden, two independent journalists with registered press credentials were slammed to the ground, mocked & denied medcare. A direct threat to independent journalism worldwide. #PressFreedom #freedomofspeech pic.twitter.com/20Xp28QRJ7
This incident – covered by independent Swedish outlets such as Frihetsnytt (Freedom News), Fria Tider and Samnytt, among others – represents a serious attack on press freedom.

Freedom News is now taking legal action against the police. You can support their action HERE.
