September 16, 2024 - Germany, Berlin

A woman journalist was punched in the face by pro-Israel demonstrator during a counter-protest supporting former Green Party MP Volker Beck in Berlin.

Caught on video, she also received death threats from another demonstrator. Shockingly, the police failed to intervene despite the violence.

Women Press Freedom strongly condemns the assault, demands police protect press covering protests and hold those responsible accountable.
