Four internationals were arrested on the evening of the election, 5 August, by Federal Police for the crime of watching a video of last year's riots on a television screen set up in the in Zocalo.
According to two sources here, the police moved in and demanded to see the passports of the internationals. They refused and were immediately arrested.
At the time in question this journalist witnessed a group of federal police entering the Zocalo as I returned home, one was carrying a CAR-15 assault rifle.
The four people were detained but are now in the hands of immigration authorities until their identities are confirmed. There is a possibility they will be deported once their embassy has identified them.
More on this as soon as we can.
