Is support of the Maduro regime a crime? I know that being a journalist isn't and if the charge is "simple assault" then it sounds like there police went so far beyond what is reasonable in this case I have to wonder if some sort of gov't surveillance prompted it. We know, thanks to the Snowden revelations, that the gov't pays particular attention to journalists and this seems to be proof of it.
