They were charged for lighting a limo on fire. Not exactly reporting.

Where in the article does it state this? As far as I can tell, they were swept up with others during one of the few violent parts of the protests and are now being charged on what is effectively a technicality.

Because people never get charged for stuff they didn't do.

You are stating that reporters lit a limousine on fire. Do you honestly believe this?

Good thing you read the article instead of rushing here to defend an authoritarian threatening freedom of speech.
The journalists were not involved with the limo burning... they were caught up in the literally hundreds (yes, hundreds) of people arrested... when everyone knows only a tiny fraction of them were involved with the limo or the few isolated incidents of vandalism.
