My story is : i am a journalist since 1999. In the Netherlands the press freedom is important, but somehow it can be difficult for beginning journalists to find ground and a way to work and get connected to the right people and the right information.
I once filmed at the airport in the Netherlands a demonstration and suddenly i was arrested and put into prison.
The fact that a journalist is taken away from the scene is a big scandal. Especially if people are demonstrating for the planet and a better environment. The year 2020 was a difficult year and i learned a lot from this experience.
I do think the NVJ and Greenpeace could have done more to help me and to find ways to claim compensation for damages.
