TV crew beaten up in Peshawar
2007-07-22
Shopkeepers attacked and beat up a reporter and cameraman from a private TV channel in the limits of Khan Raziq police station here on Saturday. Pushto television channel AVT Khyber bureau chief Mahmood Jan Afridi told Daily Times that his channelÂ’s reporter Wahidur Rehman and cameraman Waqar Ahmed were recording a programme on the public reaction to recent terrorist acts when they were attacked. He said the two had already shot footage in various bazaars of the city, but when they reached Kabari Bazaar, where allegedly stolen items are traded, two people came forward and verbally abused both of them. He said the shopkeepers assumed the journalist was reporting on stolen items being traded in the bazaar. He said other shopkeepers joined the first two and beat up the journalist and his cameraman, who were both eventually rescued by police arriving on the scene. Sadaqat from Khan Raziq police station told Daily Times a case has been registered against the attackers, with one accused, Azizullah, already arrested while the other is still missing. Peshawar Press Club President Mohammad Riaz has condemned the attack and announced a protest against it on Monday.
