UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) “strongly” condemned the attack on 218 TV correspondent, Mabrouka al-Mismari, on 12 February in Benghazi, while on duty.
“She was reportedly physically and verbally assaulted by a group of people, and her camera was broken during the incident,” UNSMIL tweeted.
“Such attacks must be thoroughly investigated, and perpetrators brought to justice,” the UN mission said.
UNSMIL called for the protection of all journalists and media professionals across Libya so they can carry out their duties without fear.
