AGK condemns Damka's physical attack on a country journalist

“According to reports, journalist Xhema, in an attempt to get a statement from MP Damka about several conversations published in the media, has faced an unacceptable physical act, where the MP has picked up the phone by hand, directly interfering with his work and violating it in his work.

AGK recalls that any physical or verbal intervention against journalists in their workplace is an attack on freedom of expression, subsequently on democracy”, said the AGK's response.

Furthermore, the institution has called for serious treatment of the incident and taking measures as competition for the safety of journalists in exercising their profession, without pressure and without fear./Periscopi/
