French police ARREST JOURNALISTS covering anti-Olympics activism | Edge of Sports

The 2024 Olympic Games have provided the perfect excuse for French authorities to turn Paris into a hyper-securitized police state. Recently, two journalists on a critical tour of the Olympics hosted by the anti-Olympics activist group Saccage 2024 (“Destruction 2024”) were arrested and interrogated by police—despite not engaging in any form of disruptive or illegal activity. Reporting from the streets of Paris, TRNN's Dave Zirin speaks with Noah Farjon of Saccage 2024 about his arrest and what it says about the state of democracy in France under the spotlight of the Olympics.
