A Dutch journalist was dragged away by a Chinese security official in the middle of a live cross from within the Olympic bubble. The journalist was covering the Beijing Olympic Winter Games which began on February 4 and run until Feb 20.
In footage obtained by The Guardian, Sjoerd den Daas was approached by the officer who forced the news anchor to take back the reigns of the broadcast. Den Daas’ camera operator then zoomed out and hurriedly switched off the lights that were previously illuminating the reporters face, leaving the scene in darkness.
