Video: Journalist Deported after Filming Protest in Tiananmen Square

BEIJING, China -- On August 10, 2008 GroundReport correspondent Noel Hidalgo was deported after videotaping a Tibetan protest, featured here, that took place in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. 

The Chinese government's hard line on censoring insavory coverage has highlighted the importance of citizen journalists like Noel Hidalgo.

Mr. Hidalgo's travel to Beijing was sponsored by the activist group that staged the protest, Students for a Free Tibet.  He was deported from China later that day on August 10, 2008 for photographing and documenting protests.
