Free Speech Press Conference Wednesday, July 31
PRESS CONFERENCE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media arrested in Capitol Crackdown
Freedom of speech, press willfully abridged by the Wisconsin Department of Administration and State Capitol Police.
On Wednesday July 24, 2013, The Devils Advocates Radio hosts Michael Crute and Dominic Salvia were arrested by the State of Wisconsins Capitol Police. Michael Crutes crime was his expression of free speech, singing in the Wisconsin State Capitols rotunda. He was cited for no permit.
Dominic Salvias crime was his exercising freedom of the press rights, covering the protests in Wisconsin State Capitols rotunda. He was also cited for no permit. Despite the fact that Mr. Salvia did not participate in the protest, despite his statement to police, and statements by others, that he was a member of the media there to cover the protest, and despite the fact no other media members were detained, his arrest proceeded.
Multiple calls to the Capitol Police and the Department of Administration for answers have not been returned.
This willful abridgement of the freedom of the press will not be allowed to stand.
