The article contains one inaccuracy -- Dr. Maeckelbergh was taking pictures of an arrest she observed while at a cafe. She was not at the No Border camp.

U.S. Professor accuses Belgian police of abuse
A professor and activist from the United States who lives in Holland is accusing the Belgian police of committing abuses against her as part of the repression of a recent protest by immigrant rights activists. Dr. Marianne Maeckelbergh, University of Leiden, the Netherlands, said she was taking photographs of "No Borders Camp" in Brussels when she was arrested. Maeckelbergh said the Belgian police pulled her hair, chained her to a radiator, kicked her, and subjected her to verbal abuse and threats of sexual assault.
