UN on Francesca Albanese: “The special rapporteurs will say what the special rapporteurs say. For the Secretary General, it is very clear that journalists should never come under any violence, wherever they may be, whether that violence is physical, whether that violence is verbal, whether they are intimidated.” — @UN_Spokesperson in response to this query by @Mike_Wagenheim @i24NEWS_EN: “Francesca Albanese, who continues to put the “special” in “special rapporteur,” weighed in recently on the attack on an Italian media outlet which led to 30 arrests for vandalism. While she condemned the attack, she said: “This should serve as a warning to journalists to go back to doing their job." Which was condemned by a wide swath of the Italian political spectrum, as basically an intimidation tactic on the press there. The Secretary General just stated yesterday, I believe that you know, “journalists need to be protected from this kind of intimidation.” Any thoughts from the Secretary General or his office on the latest comments?”
