Television violently attacks boiling journalist, cause of 26-year-old violation

A serious event that occurred a few days ago has shaken the whole public opinion in Vlora. It's the rape of a 26-year-old of three boys, according to the coastal city police report.

The 26-year-old was allegedly drugged and then sexually abused by all three boys, who abandoned her in a serious condition for life and foaming at her mouth. She was transported to a hospital where she received treatment but is in serious psychological condition.

The event seems to have not received the attention of the media. And for this, Vlora claims that the influence of family members of the three suspected authors, who are influential people in the city.

Commenting on this serious event, boiling journalist Afrovia Hysa reported (on her Facebook page) that four boys were involved in the event, not three, as police reported. It has provided details revealing that sisters of two suspected authors are the director in administration. A third is the leader of local television 6+1 Vlora.

This statement appears to have irritated television leaders in question, who have reacted with an article outside each rating attacking journalist Hysa.

In the local television article, the journalist is labelled at the grave term “prostie”, while accusing her of trying to bring this television to the event unjustly.

In question, the reporter's Union reacted.
