Abby Martin, host of "Empire Files," was just released by police, a few hours after she was violently arrested while covering the DNC protests in Philadelphia for teleSUR.
Martin was covering the DNC protests in Philadelphia for teleSUR.

Martin was on her way to a "Democracy Spring" event where there were reports of civil disobedience and arrests being made. The police had closed off all streets surrounding the action.


Martin and her producer, Mike Prysner, got into an Uber transport to try to get to the location and were dropped off by the Uber driver at the DNC site where only those with credentials are allowed.

The police stopped them and told them to leave the area. As they were complying and leaving the area, another police officer grabbed Martin, tore her dress and arrested her for "disorderly conduct."
