Côte D'ivoire: CFWIJ Is Troubled By The Physical Assault Of Journalist Diane Kablakan

Diane Kablakan, a correspondent for Ovajab Media, was physically assaulted by police trainees of the gendarmerie on May 9. The journalist was present at Adjame street, where the student police officers were marching, armed with batons. A few of them approached Diane and said, “you are too pretty, come over here. It's because of you we suffer”. Diane was then struck multiple times by the baton-wielding cadets and suffered bruises to her arms, legs, and around her neck.
