Nation Media Group (NMG) has strongly condemned the violent attack on its journalists while they were covering the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, describing the incident as a direct assault on press freedom and the public's constitutional right to access information.
In a statement issued on Thursday, NMG Board Chairman Joe Muganda said the attack occurred at AC Primary School polling station, where journalists had been deployed to report on the electoral process.
The media house said an NTV cameraman was allegedly tasered, beaten and had his camera confiscated, while a Nation reporter was reportedly threatened at gunpoint and had her mobile phone forcibly taken.
