More here, here, and here. Josh's last video post before returning to prison is here today. Previous BB posts about Josh's case here, also in this week's BB podcast. Benefit concert tomorrow night, details here. Wolf plans to blog from prison, by way of paper notes presumably. RSF says:
Reporters Without Borders today accused the US justice system of "persecuting" freelance video journalist and blogger Josh Wolf after three appeal court judges decided on 18 September to revoke his bail and send him back to prison for refusing to hand over his unedited video footage of a demonstration to a grand jury.
Wolf had until 1 p.m. today to report to the federal prison in Dublin, California, where he was already held from 1 August to 1 September.
"We say again that the federal judicial authorities cannot invoke national security to imprison Wolf, as they have – abusively – in contempt of court proceedings against other journalists involving professional secrecy," Reporters Without Borders said. "At no time has Wolf tried to run away since these proceedings were brought against him. The month he already spent in prison was both absurd and unjust. Sending him back is cowardly and persecutory."
The press freedom organisation added: "Would Wolf be suffering this fate if he were not a 24-year-old freelance journalist? We doubt it. And he was given such a short deadline to return to the prison that his lawyers did not even have time to appeal against the latest ruling."
