One of the New Zealand journalists arrested by Police on Wednesday says they spent the night in a small room on the floor at Totogo Police Station.
Newsroom Investigative Editor Melanie Reid says after being hardly taken out for dinner, they were taken to McDonalds at midnight by Police.
She says this happened after being at Totogo Police Station from around 7.30pm and the two officers in charge of looking after them were good.
Reid, Newsroom co-editor Mark Jennings and cameraman Hayden Aull were taken in by Police on Wednesday.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho had said the three were never locked up in a cell and were in the CID office at the Totogo Police Station.
He says the three were provided meals, taken to a restaurant to get their dinner and were in the care of officers from the Tourist Police in their office where they were given breakfast and coffee was brought in for them.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama had told parliament a full investigation will be conducted into the case of the rogue Police officers who had taken the three New Zealand journalists in for questioning.
The journalists had been trying to interview Resort developer, Freesoul Real Estate on the environmental breaches in the Malolo resort development when they were arrested.
