I don't know the actual circumstances of her arrest but a press card does not (and should not) act as a "get out of jail free" card.
If the police saw an individual, dressed in normal clothing, in the company of others who the police had reason to believe were intent on disruptive protest, the police are entirely within their right to arrest those who they believe are a threat to public order.
I believe in a free press, not one that believes itself above the law.
