The incident, which occurred in December 2014 at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush, saw video journalist Jason Parkinson, photographer Jess Hurd, and an unnamed photojournalist—all members of the National Union of Journalists—stopped from covering the demonstration.
The journalists were among hundreds at the protest where they were confined, filmed while reading out their press cards, and then instructed to leave, preventing their reportage on the arrest of 76 protesters. Hurd also reported being struck in the face by an officer during the lead-up to their detention.
