Media Advocate reports that during the protest action held today outside the government building police officer hit a reporter impeding his professional activity.

The initiative says that recently it has many times fixed the cases of intolerant attitude of representatives of power structures while contacting with reporters.

“It is violation of both state and international rights of freedom of speech,” the initiative stated, demanding that the police and other power structures stop impeding the professional work of the reporters, not pass limits of politeness and not violate state and international laws.
