Chittagong (Bangladesh), Feb.22 (ANI): At least six journalists were injured after Juma prayers here on Friday.
According to a report filed by the web site bdnews24.com, the journalists were attacked by Islamists shouting ‘anti-Shahbagh’ slogans.
Friday’s incident is an off-shoot of the ongoing fundamentalist protests against the nearly three-week-long popular demonstrations in Dhaka’s Shahbagh Square.
The attack on the journalists reportedly took place at the Andarkilla intersection of the city soon after the afternoon prayers.
The journalists were covering the event, when they were assaulted.
Photographers of Jugantor and Inqilab, cameramen of Maasranga, ATN Bangla and ATN News, and the Correspondent of Banik Barta received injuries.
The Inqilab photographer was rushed to the Chittagong Medical College and Hospital for treatment.
The Islamist protest rally, however, continued within a police barricade after the incident, the web site reported. (ANI)
