China: British TV Reporter Detained While On-Air Live

A British TV correspondent was detained by Chinese police while broadcasting live from Tiananmen Square Friday.

Fox News reports Sky News’ Mark Stone was reporting on live TV about China’s leadership transition when a Chinese cop told him and his camera operator to stop.  Although Sky News says it had permission to film in the square, an officer asked them to accompany him to a local police station.


  
According to Sky News, the Chinese police said they were not displaying their press passes correctly and Stone was not carrying his passport, which is required.  

Stone later returned to Sky’s Beijing offices.
