Riot police officers confiscate photographic material from TIME magazine photographer Samantha Appleton after police raided the reunion by Congress party members in Katmandu, Nepal, Friday, Feb. 4, 2005. Only days ago a state of emergency was declared in this Himalayan kingdom and public gatherings were banned.
Reporters and photographers covering the meeting, from both the Nepalese and international press, were briefly held. The authorities confiscated digital camera discs and TV videotape from the journalists.
(Samantha Appleton began her journalism career as a writer and became a fulltime photographer after assisting James Nachtwey in 1999-2000. She has worked as a photographer for the White House, was one of the "30 Under 30" photographers featured in PDN, was nominated for the World Press Master Class and won first place from Pictures of the Year for her September 11th feature.)
