YJS condemns harassment of journalist Nezar Al Khalid

An armed group has subjected journalist Nezar Al Khalid to harassment, attempted arrest, abuse and defamation on Baghdad Street in Yemen’s militia-controlled capital Sanaa, Yemeni Journalists Syndicate (YJS) says.

In a press release issued recently, YJS stated it has been informed by Nezar Al Khalid that an armed group subjected him to harassment, abuse and defamation during an attempted arrest on Bagdad Street in Sana’a just moments after he had expressed his personal opinion and conviction in an interview with Alhurra-Iraq.

Yemen’s Journalists Syndicate has expressed its condemnation of the accident, holding the security services and the de facto authority fully responsible for any risk or harm, which might be caused to the colleague and calling on the concerned authorities to provide protection for him.
