Journalists have suffered during the dispersal of the protest rally of the “Musavat” Party on November 15 near the Iranian Embassy in Azerbaijan.
A group of journalists covering the rally were ill-treated by the policemen dispersing the protesters, the Media Rights Group (MRG) reported.
In particular, freelance journalists Dilara Miriyeva, Elnara Gasimova; female employees of “Meydan TV” Aysel Umudova and Aytaj Tapdyg, and Fatima Movlamli, a reporter for the “Azadlig” newspaper, were subjected to physical pressure.
They were obstructed, accompanied by violence, from filming and gathering information, the MRG further noted.
