Controversy
On the 16th March 2008, the police in the Republic of Ireland arrested 4 BBC journalists along with eleven other men arrested by gardaí in County Donegal as part of a probe into paramilitary activity. Police were forced to ram a van containing four BBC journalists after the driver allegedly failed to stop in County Donegal. It is understood the vehicle was not being driven by any of the journalists, who were investigating dissident republican activity. All of the journalists were released. Four other men arrested in a follow-up search are still being questioned.
The arrests were made under Section 30 of the Republic's Offences Against the State Act, which allows police to arrest any individual for up to 72 hours.
