The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) condemned the detention and arrest of several journalists covering demonstrations outside the Fort Benning military base in the U.S. A television crew from Russia Today was found guilty of violating city ordinances. Each journalist paid a $290 fine. OSCE's Representative on Freedom of the Media, Dunja Mijatovic, wrote to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “The fact that local police officers would detain, handcuff and arrest members of the press as they engaged in their duty to report on a public event is disturbing.”
