During a press conference on 28 July at the headquarters of the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS-Tarayya) – the party led by the newly deposed President Mohamed Bazoum – as yet unidentified individuals attacked crews from two privately-owned Nigerien media outlets, the radio network Anfani and the TV channel Bonferey, damaging a Bonferey camera.
“Our crew found themselves cornered in the room by protesters who had come to break up the event,” Anfani representative Moussa Modi told RSF. “Our journalists and other crews were beaten and insulted before managing to edge their way out and escape.”
