Detained and threatened for producing audiovisual material



Independent journalist Anderlay made a recording that was intersected by an officer. He was taken to the detention center called Operations, where he was warned about disseminating false information, attempting to usurp public office, and defaming the Ministry of the Interior. He was released three hours later. They confiscated a video camera and wireless microphone, and he was threatened with imprisonment if he continued to produce those materials.
