police harrassment

Kony 2012 protesters were violently attacked by Federation square security guards who attempted to confiscate a banner used to raise awareness about the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, in Melbourne Australia late Friday night.

The security guards wearing black shirts, threatened on lookers for filming the incident claiming filming is illegal in the square.

An independent photo journalist was assaulted by security guards and had his camera deliberately destroyed by one of the security guards for filming the incident.
