The Committee to Protect Journalists reports that various Afghan journalists were attacked by government officials today. Why? For covering the unrest associated with the national elections.
The restriction of professional journalists attempting to do their jobs will always cause consternation (and worse) in Western news organizations and in non-profit agencies that respect media freedom. And well it should. Under no circumstances in any democracy, should professional journalists face restrictions from their government in doing their jobs.
