Reporters without Borders human rights organization deeply condemned assault against journalist Idrak Abbasov, news agency Turan reported.
Idrak Abbasov was beaten up as he was filming a confrontation that erupted while employees of state company SOCAR were demolishing houses in the village of Sulutapa on the outskirts of the capital Baku.
“We’re shocked by such brutal assault. The tragedy could be escaped if the authorities treated violence against the journalists seriously,” reads the statement.
