Journalists are standing behind an Ottawa reporter arrested after a criminal harassment complaint from the subject of a story he had been writing. Yvonne Dubé told Radio-Canada she knew nothing about the case and insisted she never represented anyone as a lawyer. Cloutier said he doesn't know exactly what Dubé told police, so it's tough to comment on the police decision to arrest the reporter. "It's extremely concerning that the Radio-Canada reporter was arrested just for doing their job," said Duncan Pike, co-director of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. The national organization told Radio-Canada it was not in a position to comment.
