Dueling press conferences about to begin. Here is the scene

Opposition already trying to blind me and hamstring my reporting with spotlights

BREAKING: Police violently arrest the president of @VFPNational, Jerry Condone, for trying to get food into the embassy. He is left with lacerations on his face. @UrsulaRozum also arrested. Opposition walks away with stolen food.

"Who do you serve? Who do you protect?"

"Let them go!"

Reporter @anyaparampil asks Secret Service how she should describe them after assaulting a 70-year-old veteran

.@VFPNational director Jerry Condone taken away in an ambulance called by @MFlowers8. Secret Service did not try to get him medical attention

Embassy protectors use loudspeakers to deliver the message of truth over the opposition's press conference about the supposed violence of protectors. Their press release was filled with mistruths I can personally confirm were lies

.@MFlowers8 describes the arrest of @VFPNational director Jerry Condone

Here is the part of my video described by @MFlowers8, where oppositionist thugs mobbed people trying to deliver food to a bag lowered down by embassy protectors

.@UrsulaRozum, activist of @codepink was just released. She was wearing sandals and an escualido was smashing her feet so she pushed them away. Gerry Condone, 72-year-old president of @VFPNational and Vietnam War veteran, is still in an ambulance

Strange police activity around a manhole. Embassy protectors suspect they are trying to shut the water off to the building

I'm just noticing now that you can clearly see oppositionists attack @lilytaj5 of @codepink at around 46 seconds into the video. She says she was pushed by one and hit in the head with a megaphone by another. Secret Service was right there but did nothing
