French photographer arrested for taking pictures

Photographer Jean-Claude Elfassi was held by police for several hours after taking pictures of a murder re-enactment in a Paris street. Though Elfassi was assaulted by two people, he was charged with "violating the confidentiality of a judicial investigation" while his attackers were released. The Paris-based press watchdog, Reporters without Borders, said such charges reduce journalists doing their job to the level of criminals. (Via Reporters without Borders)
