North Dakota's outrageous arrest warrant for journalist Amy Goodman raises serious fears for press freedom


"Democracy Now! said it is now consulting with the Center for
Constitutional Rights (CCR) and lawyers in North Dakota. CCR’s legal
director, Baher Azmy, told Democracy Now!, 'This is clearly a violation
of the first amendment … an attempt to repress this important political
movement by silencing media coverage.'"

 The arrest warrant for award-winning journalist Amy Goodman has raised concerns about free speech violations and press intimidation.
