No pressure in regard to journalists was registered during the opposition’s rally organized in Galaba square on 19 November, the Media Council (MC) Monitoring Group told Trend.
Ibrahim Mammadli, the coordinator of the MC Standing Commission on Solution of Problems between Media and State Bodies, also head of the Monitoring Group, said that journalists covering the action did not wear special jacket destined for similar cases. Most journalists did not have press cards on them.
“It causes trouble in differing of journalists from participants of rally in extremal situations and hinders taking measures to defense their rights,” Mammadli underlined.
