Freedom Forum is concerned over misbehavior meted out to journalists in Kathmandu on June 5.
Senior Advocate Shambhu Thapa shoved reporter Umesh Karki’s camera while he was taking video of Thapa leaving the CPN (Unified Socialist) party office at Aloknagar, Kathmandu.
Senior Advocate Thapa also questioned reporter Karki why he was taking the video without asking for permission. In response, the reporter told that he had right to take photo or video for reporting in the public place.
Though advocate Thapa’s behavior towards a journalist was unjust, the journalists’ behavior towards him should have been equally polite, seeking permission for views, rather than forcing for response in any incident.
