According to international law and conventions to which most countries have acceded, any form of harassment of journalists while performing their professional duties is unacceptable and such kind of acts are considered as a crime.
Yesterday Khatira Sardargizi, a representative of the European bureau of the Azerbaijani Real TV, was seriously injured in the head in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.
The journalist has been talked and there are videos confirming the facts.
GLOBAL JOURNALISM COUNCIL strongly condemns those who target journalists who perform their professional duties.
We consider this violence against Khatira Sardargizi as pressure on journalists all over the world.
