Tunisia: CFWIJ Denounces Brutal Police Violence Against Journalist

Security forces attacked at least 9 journalists, of which three of them women, while following the anti-government protest in Tunis on World Peace Day, September 1. Meshkal’s Ghaya Bin Mubarak was physically assaulted and the rest were deliberately impeded from the scene despite showing their press credentials to the police. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) denounces police violence against journalists. We demand Tunisian authorities to ensure journalists safety, attacking them instead.
