Shortly after this impromptu meeting, Tendor and an independent reporter he was walking with were arrested by Greek police:
Michael and I just got arrested in the middle of the town square by over 20 undercover Greek police. They did not punch me but used a lot of physical force to grab me by both sides and drag me to the police station. They are not letting us talk on phone. There were dozens of film and photo crew shooting as we were being taken away. I feel bad for my friend who was planning to go to china later. Not sure he will get a visa now.
