ASPAREZ CLUB’S STATEMENT

Journalists’ Club Asparez came up with a statement on Monday condemning
violence committed by unidentified men against reporters.

What happened today proved that pressure can be put on freedom of speech
with impunity. Those whose direct duty is keep order encourage violence
perpetrators by turning blind eye to the illegalities being committed by
them, the statement says.

The statement contains strong condemnation of violence committed against
media representatives.
