VOA correspondent attacked in Nangarhar
Bodyguards of former Nangarhar mayor Lal Agha Kakar attacked VOA radio correspondent Zabihullah Ghazi, and vandalized his car, because Ghazi tried to film the armed bodyguards beating people amid a traffic jam.
In a statement, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said: “We condemn the attack on Voice of America radio journalist Zabihullah Ghazi and urges the authorities to investigate the incident. An attack on journalist should not be ignored as it has serious implications on freedom of the press.”
