The journalist and publisher of the Pamphlet portal, Gjergj Zefi, was raped yesterday with hard objects in Tirana.

The police have identified the person and it is the citizen Renato Bodurri from Elbasan.

The motives of this attack still remain unclear.

Meanwhile, the Union of Albanian Journalists has condemned the violence against the journalist.

Through a reaction on social networks, UGSH calls on the authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice.

" The Union of Albanian Journalists strongly condemns the violence against the journalist Gjergj Zefi, on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 3, 2023, in one of the streets of Tirana. Physical blows with strong tools on the journalist, his injuries, constitute a serious act.

UGSH calls on the state authorities to immediately find the author and bring him to justice.

Physical violence against journalists is an unacceptable act in a normal society.

The Union of Albanian Journalists asks the country's institutions and authorities to prevent and not support the climate of threats to reporters and media editors.

The freer a media is, the freer the society. The violence and threat to freedom of speech is an alarm bell for all citizens, while physical aggression against media workers is a serious crime with consequences for the whole society", states the reaction of the UGSH.
