<p>The Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism says that more than 50 journalists have been injured, harassed or arrested during the protest demonstrations that have swept Latin America`s biggest country since June 17.</p>
<p>The wave of protests began as opposition to transportation fare hikes, then expanded to a variety of causes including government corruption, high taxes, poor public services and high World Cup spending.</p>
<p>The association says in an emailed statement that 34 journalists were the victims of "aggression, hostility or threats by police officers,"</p>
<p>Six reporters were arrested, some for a few minutes and others for up to three days. It says 12 were hurt by protesters.</p>
