Journalists Attacked During Protests in India and Bolivia

Recent incidents of violence against journalists have highlighted the dangers faced by media workers globally. In Kenya, journalist Agnes Oloo was harassed while covering a political event, where police were criticized for obstructing media access. Similarly, in Mangaluru, journalists were targeted during a protest by Hindutva activists, leading to a collective boycott of coverage in response to aggression from attendees. In Bolivia, journalist Josue Chube Choque was attacked while covering protests, reflecting a troubling trend of increasing violence against the press in the country. Reports indicate that journalists in Bolivia are attacked every three days on average, with many incidents going uninvestigated. These events underscore the urgent need for protections for journalists worldwide.
