ICPJ condemns strongly the burning of Future TV in Beirut
The International Covenant for the Protection of Journalists condemns strongly the burning of the building of Future TV in Beirut during the internal fighting that took place last week.
The ICPJ also condemns thetargeting of journalists in Lebanon after several photographers and reporters were injured and media outlets forced to shut down after receiving threats from groups from both sides of the conflict.
At least two reporters and three photographers have been injured in Beirut in recent days covering the conflict between the government and Hezbollah. Other photographers have been detained by police or had their equipment broken.
According to the Lebanese Photographers Syndicate, photographers Wadi Shlink, Asad Ahmed, working for newspaper Sada al Balad, and photographer Mahmmod Altawil were injured in attacks while covering the conflict earlier this week.
The Lebanese Editors' Syndicate said Sada al Balad reporters Diana Skeni and Ali Halawa were also injured in attacks.
