The National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSOJ) has strongly condemned the brutal assault on Shukri Aabi Abdi, a female journalist with Risaala TV.
Yesterday, plainclothes officers from the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) in Mogadishu attacked the journalist.
Abdi was attacked while covering a peaceful protest by residents who were opposing the demolition of their homes.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about press freedom and the safety of journalists in Somalia.
