Video footage shows uniformed police officers and men in plain clothes wrestling Chui Chun-ming, a cameraman for Now TV News, to the ground before handcuffing him and forcing him into a police car, his forehead bleeding.

Mr. Chui and another Now TV journalist were covering a hearing for Xie Yanyi, a prominent rights lawyer.
