VIDEO: Policeman Hits Journalist, Says 'Media Defender'

The Media Defender reports: “A policeman has hit a journalist. On April 7, during a protest near the Government Building, police once again used force against journalists. One of the officers delivered blows to the journalist, obstructing their professional work.

The 'Media Defender' initiative has recently recorded multiple instances where representatives of law enforcement agencies have exhibited intolerant behavior towards journalists during interactions. This violates both domestic and international laws on freedom of speech.

The 'Media Defender' initiative demands that the police and all enforcement agencies respect the boundaries of civility, allow journalists to conduct their professional work, and adhere to both domestic and international laws.”
