The incident with the journalist Gjençaj, comes the strong reaction of the Union of Albanian Journalists 

The incident with the journalist Gjençaj, comes the strong reaction of

The Union of Journalists has reacted after the incident that took place at noon today in the area of ??"Bamit Tomb" in Tirana, where the News 24 journalist was stopped by the Police and lay down.

Through the statement, the Union of Journalists has strongly condemned the violent act and police brutality demonstrated against the journalist.

They demand that the police officers involved in the incident be brought to justice.

Statement of the Union of Albanian Journalists

The image of police behavior recorded by the camera of television "News 24" with reporter Ergys Gjençaj, at noon on July 27, 2021, while reporting live a police operation in the place called the Tomb of Bami, in Tirana, is a serious incident . It is a pure act of physical rape against the reporter and police arrogance. To this episode was added the accompaniment of the reporter Gjençaj for almost an hour.

The Union of Albanian Journalists strongly denounces this violent act and police brutality demonstrated against the reporter and demands the prosecution of employees in police uniforms, who are actors of this violence and arrogance on the journalist in office.

Earlier, UGSH reacted to repeated cases of physical abuse of reporters on duty as well as to an aggressive and arrogant behavior of state police officers towards them. The police action that the reporter and his colleagues reported, regardless of the risks it carried, does not justify the aggressive behavior and physical violence against the reporter.

UGSH calls on the police authorities in the country to urgently reflect on such incidents, to exercise their authority to respect the integrity and professional presence of journalists in the field and in their reporting environment. Such well-known episodes as in Lezha, in Fier, Tirana. etc., are evidence cases why in recent international reports on media and journalist freedom, our country recognizes a decline in indexation levels and is marked by serious problems.
